Like the creation myths they supersede, the revelations of science are seared into our collective imagination through storytelling. From Archimedes' bath to Newton's apple, vivid accounts of scientific discovery help us understand the principles behind each theory, and add to the larger narrative of how the universe works, and how we came to be here. This anthology draws out and distils science's love of narrative from a wide range of scientific disciplines, weaving theory into very human stories.

Story1
Tadeusz Borowski’s concentration camp stories were based on his own experiences surviving Auschwitz and Dachau. In spare, brutal prose he describes a world where where the will to survive overrides compassion, and prisoners eat, work, and sleep a few yards from where others are murdered; where the difference between human beings is reduced to a second bowl of soup, an extra blanket, or the luxury of a pair of shoes with thick soles; and where the line between normality and abnormality vanishes.

Libro pubblicato nel 1929, ricco di ritratti femminili. Perché? Lo dice l'autrice stessa: "Vuoi che parliamo un poco insieme? Da te a me? Da donna a donna? Di noi donne nessuno ha mai capito nulla; e abbiamo troppo orgoglio per dir forte il nostro segreto patimento, nudo e crudo com'è. Ma se tu ti confidi al mio cuore, vedrai forse il tuo in uno specchio. E ti potrò dire una parola giusta, di consolazione: se non indicare il rimedio. Rimedio non c'è: fuorché abbandonarsi nelle mani di Dio."

"Die Schule ist die einzige moderne Kulturfrage, die ich ernst nehme und die mich gelegentlich aufregt. An mir hat die Schule viel kaputt gemacht, und ich kenne wenig bedeutende Persönlichkeiten, denen es nicht ähnlich ging." So Hermann Hesse über sein viel diskutiertes Werk an einen seiner Brüder, der sich später - nicht zuletzt aufgrund in der Schulzeit gelegter Probleme - umbrachte.

Raising the literary bar to a new level, Jerome Charyn re-creates the voice of Theodore Roosevelt, the New York City police commissioner, Rough Rider, and soon-to-be 26th president through his derring-do adventures, effortlessly combining superhero dialogue with haunting pathos. Beginning with his sickly childhood and concluding with McKinley's assassination, the novel positions Roosevelt as a "perfect bull in a china shop," a fearless crime fighter and pioneering environmentalist who would grow up to be our greatest peacetime president.

Dix ans après avoir enregistré Avec mon meilleur souvenir, le plus personnel et le plus accompli de ses récits, Françoise Sagan raconte dans Derrière l'épaule cette expérience inédite : "Le studio donnait sur une cour, style Utrillo, où un enfant et un chat se succédaient. Contrairement aux prédictions pessimistes de l'ingénieur du son, je me débrouillai fort bien, ne bégayai pas et inscrivis ma voix sur un disque, comme une professionnelle, pendant trois jours... C'était l'été, je crois, et j'ai gardé un souvenir paresseux et réussi de ces trois jours."

Y un día que fui a Tarleton a cortarme el pelo me encontré a un tal Bill Knowles, un antiguo compañero de Harvard, muy simpático. Había formado parte de la división de la Guardia Nacional que nos había precedido en el campamento; a última hora se había pasado a la aviación y se había quedado en Tarleton. "Me alegro de verte, Andy", dijo con excesiva seriedad. "Te pasaré toda la información que tengo antes de irme a Texas. Sabes, en realidad aquí sólo hay tres chicas..." "Me interesaba el asunto: era algo místico que sólo hubiese tres chicas. ... y ahora mismo vas a conocer a una."

Rönne, ein junger Arzt, fährt mit dem Zug durch Deutschland, um in einer entfernt gelegenen medizinischen Anstalt den Chefarzt zu vertreten. Doch statt sich den Patienten zu widmen, verliert Rönne nach und nach den Bezug zur Realität und versinkt in sich selbst. Er muss die Klinik wieder verlassen und begibt sich, dem Wahnsinn verfallen, auf Reisen. Die in den vier Rönne-Novellen beschriebene Kälte und Verlorenheit ist von Benns persönlichen Erfahrungen als Arzt und Sanitätsoffizier geprägt: "Ich lebte am Rande, wo das Dasein fällt und das Ich beginnt." Rolf Becker gibt den vier kurzen Prosatexten eine Stimme.
