I'm used to fiction where one character is always at the focus.

PDFs and audio would help. I not good at finding them.

Quite dry but a lot of Engels early work is done sort of like an account, where he visits a place and reports the facts and how he felt:

You could title this 'Engels goes to England!'

'Ten Days That Shook The World' is good too - an account of the Russian Revolution from an American socialist who watched it all happen.

'Ten Days That Shook The World' is good too

I got the BBC dramatisation of that here on TankieTube if you really want to make it feel like a story
