Physicist David Mahler has developed a theory that could put the whole concept of the world as we know it fall over.
Mahler is unable to continue to live as before with the burden of this theory - neither with the uncertainty of whether they, then, is also true, even with the consequences that would prefer a possible truth for themselves.
More and more he gets lost in its own world, feels persecuted and misunderstood. Mahler does not find a way out, and also Kehlmann leaves the end open; not the physical issues are for him, but on the inner world of his hero.
With a clear, precise language that mirrors the scientific accuracy of Mahler's, Kehlmann depicts the inner world of his hero. The audio book he reads himself - just as precisely, cool, yes sometimes with biting cold voice, as required by the text.
An impressive audio book, which can be heard over and over again and discovered new nuances.
