The Right To Be LazyThe Floating Press, 01.08.2012 - 45 Seiten Loafers, loungers, and malingers of the world, this is your manifesto.

The thinker was true to his belief system, dying in a joint suicide pact with his wife (who happened to be Karl Marx's daughter) at the age of 69 to avoid burdening his family. |
