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...
评分莫诺与加缪的故事 《勇敢的天才》是美国著名生物学教授西恩·B.卡罗尔(Sean Carroll)写法国两位诺贝尔奖得主——分子生物学巨人雅克·莫诺和哲学家、文学家阿尔贝·加缪的著作。我购买此书的缘由是前年某日偶读《科学》(Science)上的一篇书评,于是怦然心动,购得...
评分鉴于本书作者卡罗尔生物学家的身份,以及传主之一雅克•莫诺同样以其生物学贡献而获得诺贝尔奖的事实,本书貌似应该是一本生物学领域的科普类传记,就好像贾德森的《创世纪的第八天》或者J•沃森的《双螺旋》那样。然而卡罗尔的野心却不限于描摹生物圈子里的种种事迹,或者...
评分国际知名的生物学家、学者、作家西恩·B·卡罗尔的《勇敢的天才:从法国抵抗运动到获得诺贝尔奖的冒险历程》是一本比较特别的传记:一本传记却有两个传主,一个是著名作家阿尔贝·加缪,一个是著名的生物学家雅克·莫诺,这两位大神任何一位都值得写一本厚厚的的传记,卡罗尔把...

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Drawing upon a wealth of previously unpublished and unknown material gathered over several years of research, Brave Genius tells the story of how each man endured the most terrible episode of the twentieth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