When We Cease to Understand the World, Benjamín Labatut
The night gardener once asked me if I knew how citrus trees died: when they reach old age, if they are not cut down and they manage to survive drought, disease and innumerable attacks of pests, fungi and plagues, they succumb from overabundance. When they come to the end of their life cycle, they put out a final, massive crop of lemons. In their last spring their flowers bud and blossom in enormous bunches and fill the air with a smell so sweet that it stings your nostrils from two blocks away; then their fruits ripen all at once, whole limbs break off due to their excessive weight, and after a few weeks the ground is covered with rotting lemons. It is a strange sight, he said, to see such exuberance before death.

Que manía con dejarme solo en las librerías. Al final acabo comprando por encima de mis posibilidades. Ya no es sólo el dinero, también el espacio.

Durante un esame medico nei mesi precedenti al processo di Norimberga, i dottori notarono che le unghie delle mani e dei piedi di Hermann Göring erano macchiate di un rosso sgargiante. Pensarono, erroneamente, che il colore fosse dovuto alla dipendenza da diidrocodeina, un analgesico di cui prendeva più di cento pillole al giorno. Il suo effetto, secondo William Burroughs, era paragonabile all’eroina e almeno due volte più forte della codeina, ma con una scossa elettrica simile alla coca; per questo, prima che Göring comparisse davanti al tribunale, i medici americani dovettero curarlo dalla tossicodipendenza. Non fu facile. Quando venne catturato dagli Alleati, oltre allo smalto che si metteva sulle unghie quando si travestiva da Nerone, il gerarca nazista aveva in valigia più di ventimila dosi della sua droga preferita – quasi tutto ciò che rimaneva della produzione del farmaco in Germania alla fine della seconda guerra mondiale.

If you enjoyed either Oppenheimer or Benjamin Labatut's first novel When We Cease to Understand the World, you will love his new book MANIAC. This has been a public service announcement.

“We have no guiding star,” he told me, “nothing to look up or aspire to, so we are devolving, falling back into animality, losing the very thing that has let us advance so far beyond what was originally intended for us.” Jancsi thought that if our species was to survive the twentieth century, we needed to fill the void left by the departure of the gods, and the one and only candidate that could achieve this strange, esoteric transformation was technology...

Sempre affascinati da artisti, musicisti, poeti, molto spesso dimentichiamo quegli scienziati che tanta influenza hanno sulle nostre vite e il nostro mondo. In questo libro Labatut ne racconta in modo magistrale la vita e le scoperte di alcuni, mostrandoci quanto profondo può essere un certo sguardo scientifico, tanto profondo da venirne risucchiati e atterriti. Tra queste pagine troviamo una…
