'Monk's study of the great British philosopher is a terrific read...Compelling' The Times
'Monk's RUSSEL is, in its seriousness, its intelligence and sheer narrative drive, one of the outstanding biographies of our time...Monk's account of Russell's family life comes as a disturbing revelation...A bold, penetrating and extraordinary distressing books.' Sunday Telegraph
In the second half of his life, Bertrand Russell transformed himself from a major philosopher to a popular writer and political activist. Attracting both celebrity and notoriety in equal measure, he was also awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature and the Order of Merit. Making full use of private family correspondence, Ray Monk focuses on Russell's disastrous personal life, particularly his tragic relationship with his son John. Completing the definitive study of Russell's life begun with THE SPIRIT OF SOLITUDE, Ray Monk gives us the classic account of one of the most extraordinary lives of the twentieth century.
'A top-class book...Like the first volume, this is superbly researched and compellingly written.' FINANCIAL TIMES
"THE GHOSE OF MADNESS completes the story begun in Professor Monk's superb BERTRAND RUSSELL: THE SPIRIT OF SOLITUDE' the two volumes together constitute an exceptional achievement in intellectual bigraphy.' EVENING STANDARD
'Fascinating and painstaking like the first volume...will no doubt be hailed as the definitive life.' DAILY MAIL
