Originally published in German in 1926. "... the foundation of all further inquiries into Max Weber's life and influence." - Gerhard Masur. "Beginning with Max's ancestry and early years, Marianne moves to his life as a student, soldier, young lawyer, and university professor, quoting liberally from his voluninous correspondence. Her account of Weber's nervous breakdown in 1897, which curtailed his academic career and depleted his energy, provides insight into many of the personal disputes and problems that troubled him to the end. Then, to her unique outlook on his life, Marianne adds her own statement of Weber's main ideas and theories." - from dust jacket. Front free endpaper removed. Front hinge taped.
