- This is the first major biography of Max Weber to appear in
more than 80 years.
- Radkau was able to make use of previously unavailable source
material, including the extensive correspondence of Max Weber and
that of his wife, Marianne Weber.
- Drawing on this new source material, Radkau is able to paint a
picture of Max Weber the man, and of his tortured personal and
private life, which had previously been completely hidden from
view.
- This book has been a huge success in Germany, where it was on the bestseller list. It will quickly establish itself as the most thorough and authoritative account of the life of Max Weber – probably the most important and influential figure in the history of the social sciences.
