(Prometheus, 2021, 432 pagina's)
Margriet van der Heijden describes the lives of the Jewish physicist Paul Ehrenfest (1880-1933) and his Russian wife, Tatyana Afanassjewa (1876-1964), a mathematician. Their story is also that of the lightning development of physics at the beginning of the last century, when quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity were developed.
