Specificatii
This riveting, New York Times bestselling biography illuminates the
life of Otto von Bismarck, the statesman who unified Germany but
who also embodied everything brutal and ruthless about Prussian
culture. Jonathan Steinberg draws heavily on contemporary writings,
allowing Bismarck's friends and foes to tell the story. What rises
from these pages is a complex giant of a man: a hypochondriac with
the constitution of an ox, a brutal tyrant who could easily shed
tears, a convert to an extreme form of evangelical Protestantism
who secularized schools and introduced civil divorce. Bismarck may
have been in sheer ability the most intelligent man to direct a
great state in modern times. His brilliance and insight dazzled his
contemporaries. But all agreed there was also something demonic,
diabolical, and overwhelming in Bismarck's personality. He was a
kind of malign genius who, behind the various postures, concealed
an ice-cold contempt for his fellow human beings and a drive to
control and rule them. As one contemporary noted: "the Bismarck
regime was a constant orgy of scorn and abuse of mankind,
collectively and individually." A brilliant study in power, this
comprehensive biography brings Bismarck to life, revealing the
stark contrast between the "Iron Chancellor's" unmatched political
skills and his profoundly flawed human character.
