A somewhat difficult but important read on the development of society (focusing on the development of the family as we know it today, social structure, and the system of private acquisition).

I think in his obsession to demonstrate that the family lived in a communist way at the begining Engels is  delusional about the origins of the family life establishing that the rule for every ancient community is the same as it was for a few indian, celtic, roman, greek, american and germanic people. He is very wrong  when he generalized the modus vivendi of few as the way everybody else was living at a certain point in history
