Media Reviews
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 *
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 *
