From the book reviews:“Van Dalen’s biography of Brouwer should be read by anyone interested in the great man’s life. It is a marvellously researched, non-judgmental, and comprehensive book that touches on all aspects of Brouwer’s life and his cultural and intellectual milieu. … As far as the style is concerned, the writing is clear and engaging.” (A. C. Paseau, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 98 (543), November, 2014)
