I am a terrible reader, so when I tried reading the real Das Kapital, I read about Karl Marx’s biography, and gave up on the first chapter half-way.

I was curious about left-wing media, which was apparently a big thing in post-colonial India (Awaara (the most popular movie in the global South in the 1950s), Namak Haram, Kaala Patthar, etc).

Incidentally, I came across ‘Manga de Dokuha’ by East Press, of which, one book was Das Kapital (the manga). It’s a relatively short read, with about nine chapters. Definitely a nice seinen for 30+ folks.

    If you want the next book, I’ll recommend you works by Ursula K. Le Guin - pick any of her books, although I’d recommend sci-fi works like ‘The Dispossessed’. I’ll be completing ‘The Book of EarthSea’ and moving to one of those sci-fi books of hers, then maybe start with ‘Socialism: Utopian and Scientific’.

    Quotes from the ‘Wizard of Earthsea’:

    Only in silence the word,

    only in dark the light,

    only in dying life:

    bright the hawk’s flight

    on the empty sky.
