"The Causes of Suicide"

[Moskitto]

I found a book in the library called "The Causes of Suicide" or "Les Causes de Suicide"

I think Pol Pot so blatantly read it because there's a diagram that basically blames modern (It was written in 1930) Urban Society society for Suicide.

Anybody read Karl Marx's small text on suicide. Apparently it's meant to be very interesting.

Here is the suicide reference of Marx's book, meant to be pretty good. i Love the ending quote in the review.

I heard Karl Marx's daughter or niece committed suicide, is that true?

[Dan Majerle]

I don't think any of his children committed suicide. I know many died from malnutrition and illness due to his poor living condition.

yeh, one of his daughters and her husband both commited suicide

A bit from net.
"Eleanor Marx, the gifted daughter of Karl, fell in love with Edward Aveling, "the most disliked militant atheist, socialist radical, and Don Juan in London", a man of scant physical charms "who did not pay his debts". The unmarried couple set themselves up in London as "the model of a modern Marxist marriage", with Eleanor working in socialist labour activities and writing about the emancipation of women. In reality, Eleanor supported and nursed Aveling, did all the housework in the couple's home, and turned a blind eye to his many affairs. When he secretly married another woman, she took poison.''
