This brilliantly illustrated tale of reason insanity love and truth recounts the story of Bertrand Russell's life. Raised by his paternal grandparents young Russell was never told the whereabouts of his parents. Driven by a desire for knowledge of his own history he attempted to force the world to yield to his yearnings: for truth clarity and resolve. As he grew older and increasingly sophisticated as a philosopher and mathematician Russell strove to create an objective language with which to describe the world - one free of the biases and slippages of the written word. At the same time he began courting his first wife teasing her with riddles and leaning on her during the darker days when his quest was bogged down by paradoxes frustrations and the ghosts of his family's secrets. Ultimately he found considerable success - but his career was stalled when he was outmatched by an intellectual rival: his young strident brilliantly original student Ludwig Wittgenstein. An insightful and complexly layered narrative Logicomix reveals both Russell's inner struggle and the quest for the foundations of logic.Narration by an older wiser Russell as well as asides from the author himself make sense of the story's heady and powerful ideas. At its heart Logicomix is a story about the conflict between pure reason and the persistent flaws of reality a narrative populated by great and august thinkers young lovers ghosts and insanity.
