National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist
"A biography that has many of the best attributes of a novel. . . . Wonderfully fluent and compelling." --The New York Times
"A triumph of the art of biography. Unflaggingly interesting, it brings John D. Rockefeller Sr. to life through sustained narrative portraiture of the large-scale, nineteenth-century kind."--The New York Times Book Review
In this endlessly engrossing book, National Book Award-winning biographer Ron Chernow devotes his penetrating powers of scholarship and insight to the Jekyll and Hyde of American capitalism. In the course of his nearly 98 years, John D. Rockefeller, Sr., was known as both a rapacious robber baron, whose Standard Oil Company rode roughshod over an industry, and a philanthropist who donated money lavishly to universities and medical centers. He was the terror of his competitors, the bogeyman of reformers, the delight of caricaturists--and an utter enigma.
        Drawing on unprecedented access to Rockefeller's private papers, Chernow reconstructs his subject's troubled origins (his father was a swindler and a bigamist) and his single-minded pursuit of wealth. But he also uncovers the profound religiosity that drove him "to give all I could"; his devotion to his family; and the wry sense of humor that made him the country's most colorful codger. is a magnificent biography --balanced, revelatory, and elegantly written.
"Important and impressive. . . . Reveals the man behind both the mask and the myth."--The Wall Street Journal
"One of the great American biographies. . . . [Chernow] writes with rich impartiality. He turns the machinations of Standard Oil . . . into fascinating social history."--Time
Ron Chernow's first book, The House of Morgan, won the National Book Award and the Ambassador Award for the year's best study of American culture. His second book, The Warburgs, won the Eccles Prize as the Best Business Book of 1993 and was also selected by the American Library Association as one of that year's best nonfiction books. In reviewing his recent collection of essays, The Death of the Banker, The New York Times called the author "as elegant an architect of monumental histories as we've seen in decades and chose the paperback original as one of the year's Notable Books.
道德经说:“重为轻根,静为躁君,是以圣人终日行不离辎重。虽处荣观,燕处超然。”原来对这句话,领悟不深,直到阅读了解了洛克斐勒 一生才对这句话有了深层次的了解。 洛先生一生为浸礼会教一员,在其年轻时就独当一面,承担了他那花花公子、江湖骗子、四处滥情的老爸的责任...
評分最近一段时间通过喜马拉雅听完了洛克菲勒给儿子的38封信和洛克菲勒日记,主要是在班车上以及开车时候,有段时间甚至有点沉迷于此,在睡觉前以及运动时候都在听。 早年岁月与赚钱的渴望。洛克菲勒很早就独立了,无论是思想上还是经济上,洛克菲勒为什么从小就想赚钱的一个重要原...
評分断断续续花了一个多月终于把荣.切尔诺写的《洛克菲勒——一个关于财富的神话》的书看完了。感触良多,不知何处说起。摘取最后作者对洛克菲勒的综合评价: “ 实际上,老约翰.D.洛克菲勒身后留下了一个自相矛盾的名声。他集虔诚和贪婪、同情心与凶残狡诈于一身;他是美...
