沃伦·巴菲特靠向椅子的后背,长腿交叉于膝,坐在他父亲那张简朴的木桌后面。他那件价值不菲的杰尼亚上装在肩膀处束皱成一团,像一件未经剪裁、批量生产的成衣。每天,无论伯克希尔·哈撒韦总部的其他15名员工如何随意着装,他的这件衣服都会24小时保持这个样子。他穿着一件普通无奇的白衬衫,衬衣领子太小,被撑得鼓鼓的,远离领结一大截,看上去像是他做年轻商人时留下来的,而且在过去四十年他似乎都忘了量一量脖子的尺寸。

精彩书评
"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
