They have strokes of unparalleled genius, alienate friends and lovers, descend into isolation and insanity. Some of their discoveries reshape human life for the better; others pave the way to chaos and unimaginable suffering. The lines are never clear.<\/p>\n<p>At a breakneck pace and with a wealth of disturbing detail, Labatut uses the imaginative resources of fiction to tell the stories of the scientists and mathematicians who expanded our notions of the possible.    <\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 New York Review Books (September 28, 2021) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 192 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 1681375664 <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-1681375663 <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 9.6 ounces <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 5.74 x 0.55 x 8.47 inches <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-\">\n<h3 data-hook=\"cr-insights-heading-label\" class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the book enjoyable and well-written.
