Durch die Nacht

A fascinating portrait of the dark side of our livesIn this book, Ernst Peter Fischer unfolds a multifaceted panorama of the night, ranging from the dawn of the world to our present day. In a masterly way, he succeeds in linking natural science and cultural history and in pursuing the questions that darkness poses to us: How is light created? How can we perceive the color black? But also: What do our dreams consist of? And is the night also responsible for the evil in us? Ernst Peter Fischer illuminates, even illuminates the darkness and leads the reader through its history - which has never been told before.
