| Summary: | The novel When We Stopped Understanding the World, by Benjamín Labatut (Chilean author born in Rotterdam in 1980), presents the painful human adventure of the scientists who touched the boundaries of the knowable and which led to the discovery of quantum physics. The events – sublime and dramatic, historical and personal – are intertwined in an engaging, dreamlike narrative. A subtle glacial and rough hue makes the protagonists even more fascinating, like contemporary Prometheans challenging the absurdity of this world In this world it is impossible to separate the real from the unreal, which paradoxically is perhaps the aspect most comprehensible to us. |
