This is the story of a physicist as a young man. Benito adores the rationality of physics and pursues it with a religious fervour. He finds very little rationality in his affairs with women however, they make no sense to him. Other work by the author includes "Einstein's Dreams".
Industry Reviews
Bennett has been passionately devoted to science since early childhood. He loves the order, beauty and certainty of both physics and mathematics and he works with delight and dedication to become a Professor of Physics. But the outside world of human emotion has been frozen out. Only Florida, the black maid in his parents' Memphis home, gives him uninhibited love. Gradually the contradictions and uncertainties of human relationships impinge on his narrow academic vision, and he acquires a lovely, neurotic wife. He learns the secret of his father's moroseness. He becomes aware of the inevitability of human imperfection. Alan Lightman, teacher of physics at MIT and author of the bestselling Einstein's Dream writes beautifully lucid prose that makes this convincing portrait of a 'pure scientist' a joy to read.
