Harald Fritzsch received his PhD in Theoretical Physics from the Technical University of Munich in 1971. He was previously a Research Associate with CERN and has been serving as Chair of Theoretical Physics at the University of Munich since 1979. Professor Fritzsch won the prestigious Award of the Volkswagen Foundation in 1989 and the Medal for Science Publishing by the German Physical Society in 1994. He has held many general talks on problems of physics and astrophysics, and is the author of the TV series “Microcosmos”. He is the president of the German Society of Medical Doctors and Scientists — the German equivalent of the American AAAS and the British BAAS.
In the 1960s, Leipzig was the center of resistance in East Germany. Harald Fritzsch, then a physics student, contemplated escape. But before he left, he wanted to demonstrate to the government that they had gone too far when they destroyed St. Paul's Church in May 1968. He accomplished that by unrolling a protest transparency in spectacular fashion. Despite the great efforts of the secret police, the STASI, the government was unable to find out who was responsible for this act. Soon after, together with a friend, Fritzsch began his journey to Bulgaria in order to escape into Turkey by traversing the Black Sea in a folding canoe. This was a daredevil endeavor, never done before.
In this book, Harald Fritzsch — now a world-renowned physicist — portrays in captivating detail an authentic picture of the East German regime and the events of the late 1960s. Today, 40 years later, he critically takes stock of the events since German reunification.

评分最先在书架上看到Escape from Leipzig时,我以为是同巴赫相关的。虽然后面确实同巴赫有一个小关联,但其实是物理学家Harald Fritzsch逃离东德的自传故事。拍成电影会非常精彩,他是历史上唯一经由黑海乘小筏逃到西德的东德人,在东德期间的莱比锡干出了一桩轰动的反./抗悬案。 ...

Readership: General.
“This book is of historical importance. It describes the tensions created by a ruthless regime in a defenseless community, the feelings of helplessness as well as the resourcefulness of those who wanted to make a difference, and then had to escape under life-threatening conditions. No one at the time knew whether the tiny pinpricks of the protesters would help at all to bring about any change in a seemingly perpetual situation and whether the monolithic autocrats could maintain their communist rule forever. Indeed, only few could surmise that less than two decades would be needed to bring the cold war to an end. What happened should not be forgotten. Personal accounts such as the one here are real jewels.”
from the foreword by Gerard 't Hooft, Nobel laureate
“Rarely if ever does a world-famous scientist write a page-turning thriller every word of which is true! … This wonderful book is both a heartwarming tale and a historical testament.”
Sheldon Glashow
Nobel laureate
“This book, written by my collaborator Harald Fritzsch, describes his escape from East Germany in 1968 and the events in Leipzig that forced him to leave. He had organized a protest movement against the destruction of the 700-year-old Pauliner church in Leipzig. … Fritzsch's story is fascinating, significant, and well told.”
Murray Gell-Mann
Nobel laureate
“Fritzsch's book on his life in Leipzig and his escape to the West should be read by everybody, who is interested in the history of Germany in the twentieth century. The book looks like a criminal story, but it is a true story, written down after the fall of the Berlin wall.”
Helmut Kohl
ex-chancellor of Germany
物理学家Harad Fritzsch于1968年经由黑海从东德逃往西德的故事(坐折叠式皮艇渡海,到达保加利亚土耳其边境,万幸在土耳其着岸)。之前在书架上看到,我误以为是与Bach有关,不过也有小部分关系,他在某届国际巴赫大赛的颁奖会上,通过定时装置,展示了一幅异议的标语,引起了人群的骚动。他的逃离不仅仅是因为秘密警察等的压迫,也包括他渴望去国外学习更先进的物理理论。后来他成为了非常著名的世界级物理学家,”距诺贝尔奖一步之遥”,跟盖尔曼一起建立QCD(等等,其他看不懂),还写了畅销科普《夸克》。 读着读着总是很伤感又很热泪盈眶。这本书实在柏林墙倒塌后写的,他认为是时候讲出这段经历了,包括escape和那幅引起骚动的transparancy。那个年代,人们只能秘密读1984等禁书,不入党不能当上

评分追寻自由和真理的传奇人生…(Gell-Mann去世时才发现他的一个重要的合作者就在慕尼黑,于是搜到了Fritzsch和他的自传,这本书其实很薄120多页但要20多欧大洋,于是拖了老久才终于下定决心买_(:3」∠)
