To read Isaiah Berlin is above all to listen to a voice, effervescent, quizzical, often self-mocking, but always full of gaiety and amusement.
John Dunn, Times Literary Supplement
Berlin restored the history of ideas to its true place as a key to unlock the past and explain the present. It was a notable achievement. This book sustains it.
Raymond Carr, Spectator
To read Berlin is to sit at an unlit window and see the landscape of European thought illuminated by a spectacular display of fireworks.
Ian McIntyre, Independent
A history of ideas that possesses all the drama of a novel, all the immediacy of headline news.
Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
