Inhalt

An extraordinary volume of never-before-published letters written by one of America's most beloved scientists Richard P. Feynman, brilliant physicist and beloved teacher, is an iconic figure in the world of science. Born in 1918, Feynman received his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1942 and went on to win the Nobel Prize in physics in 1965 for his research in quantum electrodynamics. Besides his work as a physicist, Feynman was at various times an artist, dancer, bongo player, and lock picker. While there have been many books celebrating his myriad scientific achievements and personal eccentricities, his personal correspondence has remained largely hidden from view. Now, for the first time, we have the privilege of reading his wonderful letters to students, long-lost relatives, former lovers, crackpots, colleagues, and die-hard fans. From his early love letters to his first wife Arline, who died of tuberculosis, to his decades-long attempt to resign from the National Academy of Sciences, Feynman shares his views on feminism, fatherhood and everything in between. These letters, which span a full half-century, tell the story of a marvellous and inventive life, and reveal the pathos and wisdom of a man many felt close to but few really knew. By turns abrasive and charming, intimate and inspiring, we see the many sides of Richard Feynman, and treasure him all the more. (www.amazon.de)
