Paul and Laura meet in London shortly after the founding of the First International and five years before the Paris Commune. He is a revolutionary student expelled from every university in France for 'staining' the national flag; she is the daughter of Karl Marx. For forty-five years they share their ideas and their life as companions, caught up in all the great and small events of the second half of the 19th century: the age of textile mills, railways, electricity and photography, of Marx, Engels, Proudhon and Bakunin, of Manet, Courbet, Hugo, Flaubert, Rimbaud and Zola, of committed intellectuals and social utopias.
