Es gibt Orte auf der Welt, an denen Regeln weniger wichtig sind als Freundlichkeit

Newton and his complicated relationship with alchemy, Dante's cosmology and our modern worldview, the butterfly researcher Nabokov and Lolita, as well as the doubts of the not-so-infallible genius Einstein: In addition to his books that brought him worldwide fame as a physicist, Carlo Rovelli has written a series of short essays exploring the unusual connections between science and literature, history, philosophy, and politics. And it always revolves around humanity. For the first time, they are available in German. Elegantly written, varied, interesting, and thought-provoking, they give readers an insight into what drives the keen mind of the physics star. "Rovelli has found a new way to talk about science, simple and enlightening." Paolo Giordano.
