'A work of literature and an eloquent portrait...an explanation of this most remarkable twentieth-century figure...Though Berlin will be the subject of many future studies, one cannot imagine anyone feeling the need to improve on this biography' Observer
One of the greatest of modern philosophers, Isaiah Berlin was swept up in the most powerful currents of the twentieth century. In this extraordinary biography, Michael Ignatieff traces Berlin's childhood in Latvia, amid the terror of the Revolution, his exile in England and years as a member of the British intellectual establishment, and his career at the heart of British diplomacy in airtime Washington and post-war Moscow. The story echoes with Berlin's zestful recollections; from his comic meetings with Virginia Woolf, Wittgenstein and Churchill to his encounters with Pasternak and Anna Akhmatova.
'Enthralling...More than an authorised biography...An affectionate and admiring, but none the less independently-minded portrait...A serious book, but also a vivid, lively and uplifting one'
Evening Standard
'Reading Ignatieff's Isaiah Berlin, you feel you are understanding not only Isaiah Berlin, but the history...I do not see how there could be a more insightful, more erudite, biography of this remarkable man' Doris Lessing, Times Literary Supplement
'A rare gem of a book...It will add a new dimension to the afterlife of the philosopher' Sunday Times
'Brings off the near-impossible - a lifelike portrait of a man who was loved by his friends not for what he wrote, but what he said' Humphrey Carpenter, Sunday Times, Books of the Year
