介绍了有着相同经历(二战、冷战)的两位法国朋友分别从生物学和哲学的角度去探索生命的意义的过程,而且这两个角度结合起来似乎更有意思和说服性。 第一次接触反马反共的书籍。参透贝诺生物研究后的原理,方可理解那场生物斗争,方可看见与加缪领导的政治斗争的联系。 抛开传...
评分中国传统思想中有个命题叫做“三不朽”,所谓立德、立功、立言。按我肤浅的理解,立德就是说一个人具有高尚的道德品质,立功是指一个人对于家国民众有大的功绩,立言则是指一个人有真知灼见流传于世。能达成这“三不朽”,这人就堪称圣贤了。据说中国历史上有两...
评分相对于传统文学家和历史学家完成的传记,我更喜欢非专业人士基于跨领域探讨的作品。当然缺乏科班成体系的培训会为创作过程带来很大风险,但总有野心勃勃的天才可以跨越这种障碍,并将这种障碍扭转为巨大的惊喜,B·卡罗尔毫无疑问就属于此类天才。 B·卡罗尔的天才首先在于他的...
评分法国元帅、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...

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Drawing upon a wealth of previously unpublished and unknown material gathered over several years of research, Brave Genius tells the story of how each man endured the most terrible episode of the twentieth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.
