Berlin's letters are marvellously accessible, and as entertaining. During the two decades covered here his personality and career grow and bloom. In America, during the war, he writes a regular telegram to his anxious parents, often saying just 'Flourishing'; the word fits not only his wartime experience, but the whole of his early life, vividly displayed in this book in all its multi-faceted delightfulness.

Recensione:
"Isiah Berlin was one of the great letter-writers of the twentieth century: witty, indiscreet, passionate, wise and unbuttoned. He also lived through extraordinary moments of twentieth-century history, and these letters capture those moments" (Michael Ignatieff, author of Isiah Berlin: A Life)
"Reading this glorious collection of letters is, predictably, a heady experience... rich and irresistable" (Simon Schama New Republic)
"Incredibly readable and entertaining" (Good Book Guide)
"Full of insights about everyone and everything. He was an alpha-level gossip, the genius kind... a conversation of wit and substance that you never want to end" (Michael Pye Scotsman)
