A masterful biography of this strange, brilliant, difficult, driven and tormented man. Born and educated in Prussia in the early 19th century, he was a polymath who was fascinated by the natural world, and possessed a longing for adventure and exploration. The author laboured at the sources - the diaries, the letters and documents where truth lay waiting for a ray from the lantern of Diogenes. Her book is, in the best sense, a quest or a detective story. The long story is told in prose of compelling power, with sardonic humour, with mordant insight into the unattractive corners of the human heart. ISBN: 0522841813. Our Book No: 31003. $30 AUD.
