I would have liked to know more, but its brevity does not diminish its value. ( ) To my mind, and for my mind, this is the best introduction to Marx and his station. Published shortly after the outbreak of WWII in the UK (!), this is Berlin's first major work, and all these decades later now that the Cold War has come and gone, it still holds up. Definitely a seminal work by an old school public intellectual. And I love the prose style -it slides along like a heavy canoe on wet grass. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Wikipedia på engelsk (13)Isaiah Berlin's intellectual biography of Karl Marx has long been recognized as one of the best concise accounts of the life and thought of the man who had, in Berlin's words, a more "direct, deliberate, and powerful" influence on mankind than any other nineteenth-century thinker. A brilliantly lucid work of synthesis and exposition, the book introduces Marx's ideas and sets them in their context, explains why they were revolutionary in political and intellectual terms, and paints a memorable portrait of Marx's dramatic life and outsized personality. Berlin takes readers through Marx's years of adolescent rebellion and post-university communist agitation, the personal high point of the 1848 revolutions, and his later years of exile, political frustration, and intellectual effort. Critical yet sympathetic, Berlin's account illuminates a life without reproducing a legend. New features of this thoroughly revised edition include references for Berlin's "ations and allusions, Terrell Carver's assessment of the distinctiveness of Berlin's book, and a revised guide to further reading.
