Summary

This is an autobiography written as an eye witness account by a child/youth/young adult growing up in the terrible times of growing Nazi-ism in the Germany of the 1930’s, followed by the terror of World War II. Life went on as usual with only brief interludes of realizing that life in Germany was moving ever closer to madness. In a terrifying scene Fritz’s Mom is taken always from Fritz and his sister by GESTAPO officers who arrested her for helping a Jewish friend escape the certain death of remaining in Germany. For her kindness Fritz’s Mom paid with three brutal years in prison and the loss of her family.

    An illuminating and witty dialogue with one of the greatest intellectual figures of the twentieth century. Ramin Jahanbegloo's interview with Isaiah Berlin grew into a series of five conversations which offer an intimate view of Berlin and his ideas. They include discussions on pluralism and liberty as well as the thinkers and writers who influenced Berlin. This revised edition provided an excellent introduction to Berlin's thought. Ramin Jahanbegloo is an Iranian philosopher, who has taught in Europe and North America. In 2006 he was imprisoned for several months in Iran. He is currently teaching Political Philosophy at Toronto University. 'Though like Our Lord and Socrates he does not publish much, he thinks and says a great deal and has had an enormous influence on our times'. Maurice Bowra 'Berlin never talks down to the interviewer. Conversations here means the minds of the interviewed and interviewer meet on equal terms in language that is transparently clear, informed, witty and entertaining'. Stephen Spender 'He is wise without seeming pompous, witty without seeming trivial, affectionate without seeming sentimental'. Michael Ignatieff 'Isaiah Berlin... has for fifty years in this talkative and quarrelsome city (Oxford) been something special, admired by all and disliked by no-one... a benevolent super-don'.
