Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
Alice Schroeder’s The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life might well be one of the most important books you will ever read -- particularly in a period when the world's various economies appear to be entering freefall. This arm-straining (at nearly a thousand pages) but utterly fascinating book has already -- against all the odds -- achieved an astonishing level of success, given its initially daunting appearance. But it will only take a chapter or so for most readers to see just why this book is enjoying such an unprecedented level of acclaim.
The subject is the life and career of one of the most revered men in the western hemisphere, Warren Buffett (an advisor to new US President Barack Obama) – despite the fact that his name may not be known to most of the general public. Buffett’s story is one that currently has resonances for all of us: a remarkable financial success story. The name of this investor from Omaha is spoken of with admiration by all who know him, despite the fact that he has never written a book on his career or the secrets of his business success. However, he has been persuaded to allow Alice Schroeder to spend time with him and those with whom he works to investigate his business triumphs, his opinions, his mistakes (Buffett is rather winning in admitting to several of the latter – how common is that in his profession?) -- and what emerges is a totally comprehensive biography of the man known throughout the world as ‘The Oracle of Omaha’.
What is most revealing about the picture of the man that emerges from these pages (and Schroeder had access not just to her subject and his business associates but also his wife, children and friends) is that we meet a man of intellect – of course – but also of humanity and understanding, with a philosphy and worldview that is both judicious and principled. In an era in which those in Buffet’s profession are more prone to excoriation than praise, the man we encounter here has a sane and clear-eyed philosophy of life and an attitude to business success that is generously instructive -- and inspiring. --Barry Forshaw -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .
Pressestimmen
'An epic account of the greatest capital accumulator in history.' Dominic Lawson, The Times 'Warren Buffett's opinions are so hotly sought that THE SNOWBALL, a biography with which he has enthusiastically cooperated, would be of interest even if it answered only softball questions. It approaches him seriously, covers vast terrain and tells a fascinating story.' New York Times 'Buffett has been ahead of the curve for most of the past 50 years, making him one of the world's richest people. THE SNOWBALL provides some clues about how he's done it.' Financial Times 'A monumental work ... you feel like you've been in the presence of a monumentally flawed but riveting character ... utterly compelling.' Evening Standard

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Zweifelsohne verfügt Buffett über ein interessantes Leben. Aufschlussreich sind die Szenen, bei denen man erfährt, wie der Mensch Buffett tickt, was seine Motivation ist. Leider ist das Buch mit 976 Seiten, welche ausserdem extrem eng beschrieben sind, mindestens dreimal zu lange geraten. Es wird so langatmig und die Autorin verliert sich in Details. Fazit: faszinierendes Thema äusserst langatmig erzählt.

Sehr interessant, wenn man wissen will, wie Warren Buffet zu seinem Geld gekommen ist.
Vor allem auch die Kapitel zu Salomon Brothers und dem Niedergang von LTCM.

Warren Buffett is bigger than life, and this page turner is bigger than literature. It's the kind of fiction only life can write; a Balzacian 'comedy humane', only with life itself as an author. Everybody who is into investing admires the lord of the stock market for his genuine contribution to security analysis and value investing. The others marvel at his wit and charms. No other investor in history has ever been as popular. Buffett has even had a career as a cartoon hero. As a comforting papa figure, he tells the struggling little investor: 'If I can do it, you can do it!'
We learn that as a hunk Buffett has been clumsy, hurt by his mother and socially gawky. Carnegie''s classic ''How to Make Friends and Influence People'' became a source of inspiration for him end helped him to deal with others.
Strangely enough, Schroeder does not dwell on Buffett's birth circumstances, rather begins the biographical account with the hero aged three. Perhaps I have accidentally skipped a chapter, but as far as I remember, she also doesn't tell us something about Buffett's confessional background; this however would be crucial for the understanding of his personality and investing strategies.
What I miss about the book as well is a time table of Buffett's life. It has, however, quite a good index, which can serve as a useful tool if one employs the book as a kind of reference.
Never invest in a business you don't understand!
