Here is a very good good novel that alternates the relationship between Kurt Gödel and that was to become his wife, Adele, from Austria to the interwar period until the triumphant America of Princeton, and the few months of 1980 -1981 about the end of Adele Gödel. The heroine, Anna, mandated by the IAS (Institute for Advanced Studies) must recover the Kurt Gödel's archives still held by his wife (slightly cantankerous but lovable), resident of a retirement home. Wonderful novel that makes us understand how engineering can crush those (and especially those) around them. It is hard to imagine that a powerful engineering and mathematical logic could have had such behavior. Read it and you'll see it appear wonderful people and you will understand what love can do. In addition, you will learn a few basic mathematics (very succinct) and physics and a parade of personalities such as Einstein, Pauli, Oppenheimer and I passe.Un very good novel about some subject.
