Carlo Rovelli

In this collection of writings, the logbook of intelligence, always on the move, Carlo Rovelli follows his curiosity and invites us on a voyage through science, history, philosophy, and politics. Written with his usual clarity and wit, these pieces range widely across time and space: from Newton’s alchemy to Einstein’s mistakes, from Nabokov’s butterflies to Dante’s cosmology, from travels in Africa to the consciousness of an octopus, from mind-altering psychedelic substances to the meaning of atheism.

Charming, pithy, and elegant, this book is the perfect gateway to the universe of one of the most influential scientists of our age.
