A fascinating history, the reading of which is unfortunately spoiled by some atrocious English; and when I say atrocious, I mean the book contains paragraphs, which are literally unintelligible, no matter how many times you read them.
Another commenter stated that the translators of this biography (from the original German) were clearly not native English speakers. As far as I know (and I established this based on a conversation I had at Basel University with the curator of the tercentenary Euler exhibition in 2007) there was no German version and the author himself took it upon himself to write the book directly in English. And it is quite evident from the poor quality of the prose that Herr Fellmann's English was not up to the task.
Yes, I did ultimately enjoy and profit from the detailed account of Euler's life, but I imagine that someone not as passionate about the man and his works as myself would quickly lose interest, simply because Herr Fellmann forces the reader to work so incredibly hard.
