JENNY MARX, LA FEMME DU DIABLE by Françoise GIROUD - Édition Robert Laffont (92 Av. de France, Paris) - Collection “Elle était une fois” Directed by Marie-Josèphe Guers - 1992 - 248 pages - Black and white photographic illustrations - Softcover, Jenny von Westphalen was the wife of the Devil, that is, Karl Marx, for thirty-two years. An odd combination of a Prussian aristocrat and a penniless revolutionary, dazzled to have been chosen as a husband. Intelligent, beautiful, proud, closely associated with her husband’s work, Jenny lived with him a genuine love story, through the vicissitudes of a tumultuous existence marked by exile and, sometimes, poverty. A beautiful woman’s face emerges behind a formidable man’s face.
