This brilliantly illustrated tale of reason, insanity, love and truthrecounts the story of Bertrand Russell's life. Raised by his paternalgrandparents, young Russell was never told the whereabouts of hisparents. Driven by a desire for knowledge of his own history, heattempted to force the world to yield to his yearnings: for truth,clarity and resolve. As he grew older, and increasingly sophisticatedas a philosopher and mathematician, Russell strove to create anobjective language with which to describe the world - one free of thebiases and slippages of the written word. At the same time, he begancourting his first wife, teasing her with riddles and leaning on herduring the darker days, when his quest was bogged down by paradoxes,frustrations and the ghosts of his family's secrets. Ultimately, hefound considerable success - but his career was stalled when he wasoutmatched by an intellectual rival: his young, strident, brilliantlyoriginal student, Ludwig Wittgenstein. An insightful and complexlylayered narrative, Logicomix reveals both Russell's inner struggleand the quest for the foundations of logic. Narration by an older,wiser Russell, as well as asides from the author himself, make senseof the story's heady and powerful ideas. At its heart, Logicomix is astory about the conflict between pure reason and the persistent flawsof reality, a narrative populated by great and august thinkers, younglovers, ghosts and insanity.
