| Summary note: | "How could you, a mathematician, believe that extraterrestrials were sending you messages?" the visitor from Harvard asked the West Virginian with the movie-star looks and the Olympian manner. Thus begins the true story of John Nash, the mathematical genius who was a legend by age thirty when he slipped into madness, and who, thanks to the selflessness of a beautiful woman and the loyalty of the mathematics community, emerged after a decades of ghostlike existence to win a Nobel Prize and world acclaim, the inspiration for a major motion picture. Sylvia Nasar's award-winning biography is a drama about the mystery of the human mind, triumph over incredible adversity, and the healing power of love. |
