HOUSE OF WITTGENSTEIN, THE（ISBN=9780307278722） 英文原版 txt umd azw3 下载 fb2 pdf 在线 免费

The House of Wittgenstein is the grand saga

of a brilliant and tragic Viennese family whose members included a

famous philosopher and the world's greatest one-handed classical

pianist.

The Wittgenstein family was one of the

wealthiest, most talented, and most eccentric in European history,

held together by a fanatical love of music yet torn apart by money,

madness, conflicts of loyalty, and the upheaval of two world wars.

Of the eight children, three committed suicide; Paul lost an arm in

the war and yet stubbornly pursued a musical career; and Ludwig,

the odd youngest son, is now regarded as one of the greatest

philosophers of the twentieth century. Alexander Waugh, author of

the acclaimed memoir Fathers and Sons and himself the offspring of

a famous and eccentric family, tells their baroque tale with a

novelistic richness to rival Thomas Mann’s Buddenbrooks.

媒体评论

    “Excellent and astonishing. . . . Fits

squarely among the long line of nonfiction masterpieces driven by

the intoxicating richness of early century Vienna. . . . Riveting.”

—The New York Observer

　　“When it comes to dysfunction, the Wittgensteins of Vienna could

give the Oedipuses a run for their money.” —The New York Times Book

Review

　　“Even in the exotic Vienna of one hundred years ago, the

Wittgenstein clan stood out for its density of eccentrics. . . .

[Waugh] has at least one stupefying anecdote per page as he

describes this stunningly maladroit bunch of cultivated nuts,

sweeties, intellectuals, philanthropists, and misanthropes.”

—Bloomberg

　　“The story in this book is so gripping and fascinating that it is

remarkable that it has never been told in this way before. . . . It

is hard to imagine another account showing such fluency, wit and

attention to detail.” —Literary Review

　　"A work of real discovery and rollicking narrative. This is a

memorable biography, not to be missed.” —London Evening

Standard

　　“Waugh has done a masterly job, untangling a mass of financial

and psychological complexities, while never over-encumbering the

central, personal stories. His writing is brisk, confident and

colourful . . . and the book is a pleasure to read.”

—Telegraph

　　“Marvellous, a sharp combination of some formidable scholarship .

. . with a wonderful eye for absurdity . . . a magnificently

refreshing and invigorating volume which deserves a wide

readership.” —The Independent
