Maybe so, maybe not. But I've writtten this book
anyway, on the priciple that the worst kind of
battle is the one not confronted.
Another reason for trying to take on Charlie
was my wish to understand him - an ambition which
I haven't satisfied.
...
An attempt to "popularize" Marx raises [a] problem
- the difficulty of putting into everyday language
the philosophic & economic terms he uses. Because
there aren't only 20 or 30, but 200 or 300! To try
translating this number without losing their meaning
is really _dog_ work. i hope the average reader who
gets throught his book will have the courage to
confront the complete works of Marx and come out
of it better than i did.
...
It's incredible that Marx, working under far worse
conditions and pressures than mine, could write all
those _thousands_ of pages without ever losing his way
or making a botch of it.
But that just goes to prove in the end that Marx
is Marx, and Rius is ... well, just a poor guy!
Enjoy!
