5 Out of 5 Stars: the dramatic life of an absorbing Dane
Amazon Review By A. Wakefield on June 12, 2000
Lowrie gives his version of Kierkegaard's life - the only version I really know. That said, his telling of the Kierkegaard story is supplemented by many quotations from Kierkegaard's journals and his books, many of which contained veiled autobiography.
Lowrie's assessment of Kierkegaard's motivations and his sense for the dramatic and important moments of this man's life is indisputable. By my understanding, Lowrie was primary in bringing Kierkegaard into the English language and the wider culture. Bravo, an excellent job which remains a worthwhile and engaging read.
