編輯推薦
沃倫·巴菲特靠嚮椅子的後背,長腿交叉於膝,坐在他父親那張簡樸的木桌後麵。他那件價值不菲的傑尼亞上裝在肩膀處束皺成一團,像一件未經剪裁、批量生産的成衣。每天,無論伯剋希爾·哈撒韋總部的其他15名員工如何隨意著裝,他的這件衣服都會24小時保持這個樣子。他穿著一件普通無奇的白襯衫,襯衣領子太小,被撐得鼓鼓的,遠離領結一大截,看上去像是他做年輕商人時留下來的,而且在過去四十年他似乎都忘瞭量一量脖子的尺寸。

精彩書評
"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
