In the ten years since September 1987, Ye Liting visited Berlin regularly, reminiscing with him about his life, and re-experienced his childhood in Russia, his years as a student at Oxford, his diplomatic career in the United States, his visit to the Soviet Union, and his academic life that was never far away from the frontline of thought. This is not a character review piled up with documents, but an ideological biography written using Berlin's own memories. In this book, you will see how Berlin lived an honest and responsible life through the stormy 20th century, and extracted from the disasters and achievements of this century his original ideas that echo today.
