National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist

"A biography that has many of the best attributes of a novel. . . . Wonderfully fluent and compelling." --The New York Times

"A triumph of the art of biography. Unflaggingly interesting, it brings John D. Rockefeller Sr. to life through sustained narrative portraiture of the large-scale, nineteenth-century kind."--The New York Times Book Review

In this endlessly engrossing book, National Book Award-winning biographer Ron Chernow devotes his penetrating powers of scholarship and insight to the Jekyll and Hyde of American capitalism. In the course of his nearly 98 years, John D. Rockefeller, Sr., was known as both a rapacious robber baron, whose Standard Oil Company rode roughshod over an industry, and a philanthropist who donated money lavishly to universities and medical centers. He was the terror of his competitors, the bogeyman of reformers, the delight of caricaturists--and an utter enigma.

        Drawing on unprecedented access to Rockefeller's private papers, Chernow reconstructs his subject's troubled origins (his father was a swindler and a bigamist) and his single-minded pursuit of wealth. But he also uncovers the profound religiosity that drove him "to give all I could"; his devotion to his family; and the wry sense of humor that made him the country's most colorful codger. is a magnificent biography --balanced, revelatory, and elegantly written.

"Important and impressive. . . . Reveals the man behind both the mask and the myth."--The Wall Street Journal

"One of the great American biographies. . . . [Chernow] writes with rich impartiality. He turns the machinations of Standard Oil . . . into fascinating social history."--Time

读后感

书已还了，小结几点收获~ Rockefeller性格／人品上一些值得欣赏的地方： 1,做事精力集中，极端认真，勤奋。 2,独立思考。评价自己用inner value,完全不被外界左右，包括社会认可都不必要。 3,极会管理自己的时间，有效率的工作，有效率的休息。 4,目标明确 5,有信仰－－巨大的...  

洛克菲勒生平特点：极为沉默寡言，神秘莫测，善于伪装，条理清晰，口齿伶俐，很有激情，风趣 养成了尽可能不露心声的习惯 节俭，自立，勤俭和不懈的创业精神 他一向具备一种非同寻常的自我保护能力，压制那些令他不快的记忆，只谈那些突出表明他刚毅之处的事情。 早年的苦...  

我最近才发现，原来这本书有一个减缩的版本。 即《洛克菲勒：一个关于财富的神话》，虽然减缩版我没读过，但我想一定不会差，因为这本工商巨子里也有许多索然无味的东西。 减缩版会是精华，而且比这本要便宜多了。 建议仅供参考！  

洛克菲勒是谁？这似乎是个不用问的问题，但是却恐怕也是个没有标准答案的问题。有人会淡淡的说他是曾经的标准石油公司的头头儿，再补充说说标准公司解体的事儿；有人会义愤填膺的历数以他为代表的一代强盗资本家们罄竹难书的卑劣行径；有人会感情真挚的向您讲述他在慈善事...
