The never-before-told account of the intersection ofsome of the most insightful minds of the 20th century, and a fascinating look at how war, resistance, and friendship can catalyze genius.
In the spring of 1940, the aspiring but unknown writer Albert Camus and budding scientist Jacques Monod were quietly pursuing ordinary, separate lives in Paris. After the German invasion and occupation of France, each joined the Resistance to help liberate the country from the Nazis, ascended to prominent, dangerous roles, and were very lucky to survive. After the war and through twists of circumstance, they became friends, and through their passionate determination and rare talent they emerged as leading voices of modern literature and biology, each receiving the Nobel Prize in their respective fields.
Drawing upon a wealth of previously unpublished and unknown material gathered over several years of research, Brave Genius tells the story of how each man endured the most terrible episode of the twentieth century and then blossomed into extraordinarily creative and engaged individuals. It is a story of the transformation of ordinary lives into exceptional lives by extraordinary events--of courage in the face of overwhelming adversity, the flowering of creative genius, deep friendship, and of profound concern for and insight into the human condition.

文/严杰夫 作为二战后西方知识分子的旗手,阿尔贝•加缪的影响在今天已经毋庸置疑。正如历史学家托尼•朱特所说,“加缪无论在智识上,还是在道德上,都是一位对自己身处社会与历史负责的知识分子。”即使是一度作为对手的萨特,在加缪去世后,也对其评价道,“在他的作品...
評分 評分 評分法国元帅、维希傀儡政府总理贝当是个悲剧性人物。作为一战的英雄,作为一个年过八旬岁高龄的老人,你真的很难相信他突然间就怯懦了。也许一个更加合理的解释是,在一场他认为完全没有希望的战争里,再去牺牲生命是无意义的了。所以他选择了妥协、投降,以他崇高的声望为法...
