Description - The Selected Letters of Bertrand Russell by Nicholas Griffin
Bertrand Russell was a towering intellectual figure of the Twentieth century. In his nineties, he also dictated more than twelve letters a day. This acclaimed second volume of his letters written between 1914 and 1970 provides a unique insight into Russell and covers most of his adult life. Russell was a philosophical genius but also an impassioned campaigner for peace and social reform and these letters reveal the astonishing range of his correspondence. There are intense personal letters to his lovers Ottoline Morrell and Colette O'Niel and in letters to Niels Bohr, Jean-Paul Sartre, Einstein and Lyndon Johnson, we are given a unique insight into Russell's views on education, war, and the Russian Revolution. Invaluable for anyone interested in Russell, these letters also present a fascinating picture of Twentieth century history. The Selected Letters of Bertrand Russell: The Public Years 1914-1970 is also available in paperback from Routledge.
