Einstein's Monsters Martin Amis Vintage

An ex-circus strongman, veteran of Warsaw, 1939, and Notting Hill rough-justice artist, meets his own personal holocaust and \'Einsteinian\' destiny; maximum boredom and minimum love-making are advised in a 2020 epidemic; a virulent new strain of schizophrenia overwhelms the young son of a \'father of the nuclear age\'; evolution takes a rebarbative turn in a Kafkaesque love story; and the history of the earth is frankly discussed by one who has witnessed it all. The stories in this collection form a unity and reveal a deep preoccupation: \'\"Einstein\'s Monsters\" refers to nuclear weapons but also to ourselves,\' writes Amis in his enlightening introductory essay, \'We are Einstein\'s monsters: not fully human, not for now.\' Σελίδες: 128, Διαστάσεις: 13x13cm
