This brilliantly illustrated tale of reason insanity love & 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 & resolve. As he grew older & increasingly sophisticated as a philosopher & mathematician Russell strove to create an objective language with which to describe the world
- one free of the biases & slippages of the written word. At the same time he began courting his first wife teasing her with riddles & leaning on her during the darker days when his quest was bogged down by paradoxes frustrations & 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 & complexly layered narrative Logicomix reveals both Russell's inner struggle & 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 & powerful ideas. At its heart Logicomix is a story about the conflict between pure reason & the persistent flaws of reality a narrative populated by great & august thinkers young lovers ghosts & insanity.
