Description:

Kurt Gödel o el teorema de Adèle Una apasionante novela de amor que viaja por la historia, la ciencia y las relaciones humanas, ganadora del Premio de los Libreros Franceses. El destino de un genio que no sabía vivir y de una mujer que solo sabía amar. Universidad de Princeton, 1980. La joven documentalista Anna Roth emprende una ambiciosa tarea: recuperar los archivos de Kurt Gödel, el matemático más fascinante y hermético del siglo xx. Su misión consiste en ganarse la confianza de la viuda de Gödel, Adele, una anciana muy peculiar, reacia a entregar esos documentos de gran valor científico. Tras su primer encuentro, Adele establece sus reglas. Sabe que su muerte está próxima y tiene una historia que contar, un relato que nadie ha escuchado hasta entonces. De la Viena de los años treinta al Princeton de posguerra, de la Segunda Guerra Mundial al macartismo, del fin del ideal positivista a la llegada del arma nuclear, Anna se rinde a los encantos de una mujer que vivió confrontada a la difícil ecuación entre genio y amor, y que le proporcionará el valor necesario para cambiar su propia vida. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An internationally best-selling debut novel about the life, marriage, and legacy of one of the greatest mathematicians of the last century Princeton University 1980. Kurt Gödel, the most fascinating, though hermetic, mathematician of the twentieth century, has just died of anorexia. His widow, Adele, a fierce woman shunned by her husband’s colleagues because she had been a cabaret dancer, is now consigned to a nursing home. To the great annoyance of the Institute of Advanced Studies, she refuses to hand over Gödel’s precious records. Anna Roth, the timid daughter of two mathematicians who are part of the Princeton clique, is given the difficult task of befriending Adele and retrieving the documents from her. As Adele begins to notice Anna’s own estrangement from her milieu and starts to trust her, she opens the gates of her memory and together they travel back to Vienna during the Nazi era, Princeton right after the war, the pressures of McCarthyism, the end of the positivist ideal, and the advent of nuclear weapons. It is this epic story of a genius who could never quite find his place in the world, and the determination of the woman who loved him, that will eventually give Anna the courage to change her own life.
