Teoksen tarkat tiedotMandelbrot the Magnificent (tekijä: Liz Ziemska) (2017)    - Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. An interesting, entertaining, quick novella. I've always enjoyed Jewish literature and things involving the mysticism behind Judaism or the Kabbalah. Things about the Sephiroth / sefrot, etc. And this does a fairly good job of representing all of that, and the fantastical element(s) are hidden and only truly shown at the end. I do think its a case of no real danger though, despite having the Gestapo threat looming over the family.... they never seem to be in any danger, and even the coda at the end where everyone survived (even those who wandered outside his protective fractal) and the one true bad-guy of the book (Emile) just so happens to get his comeuppance, but nobody else. Like I said though, fun entertaining read, sadly a bit devoid of deeper meaning or truly great story behind it, but a fun quick read. (  ) BenKline | Jul 1, 2020 |  Math magic and history. So much is contained and hidden within this compact book. Looking forward to reading it again. (  ) sussura | Sep 29, 2018 | Mathematics, magic based in fractals, World War II (alternate) history, Mandelbrot biography… everything mixed in the right amount to make this book an engaging and original novella perfect to read in one seating.

"Liz Ziemska has fashioned a beautiful story about one famous survivor and the magic and mathematics he's brought to the world." --Karen Joy FowlerMandelbrot the Magnificent is a stunning, magical pseudo-biography of Benoit Mandelbrot as he flees into deep mathematics to escape the rise of HitlerBorn in the Warsaw ghetto and growing up in France during the rise of Hitler, Benoit Mandelbrot found escape from the cruelties of the world around him through mathematics. Logic sometimes makes monsters, and Mandelbrot began hunting monsters at an early age. Drawn into the infinite promulgations of formulae, he sinks into secret dimensions and unknown wonders.His gifts do not make his life easier, however. As the Nazis give up the pretense of puppet government in Vichy France, the jealousy of Mandelbrot's classmates leads to denunciation and disaster. The young mathematician must save his family with the secret spaces he's discovered, or his genius will destroy them. No library descriptions found. |
