Viac o knihe
In 1946, young American physicist Francis P. Bacon is tasked with uncovering the identity of Klingsor, the codename of the scientist who led the nuclear research of the Third Reich. Bacon begins to reconstruct the map of scientific research in Europe before and during the war, interviewing mathematicians and physicists who were key figures in that extraordinary era of discoveries. He finds everyone, from Heisenberg to Schrödinger to Bohr, suspect of having played that role. The ground Bacon treads is treacherous; nothing is as it seems at first glance, and reality appears just as those scientists described it: ambiguous and perpetually open to reinterpretation, immersed in a universe dominated by uncertainty. In Search of Klingsor is an unusual and engaging novel that illustrates the science of the 20th century while captivating the reader with the thrilling pace of a masterful spy story.
