SAKHAROV AND POWER: ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WINDOW
類似書籍推薦給您
This book is a testimony to the amazing life of Andrei Sakharov (1921–1989) — the great scientist and great man, the creator of the most terrible weapon in the history of mankind and at the same time the Nobel Peace Prize Winner. Sakharov's life is, one might say, an exciting detective story, a chain of incredible events, not accidental however, but dictated by the genius and fortitude of the protagonist. The theme of this book acquired new striking meanings after the "Sakharov documents" of the KGB of the USSR and of the Politburo of the Soviet ruling Communist Party were declassified. "I'm not on the top floor. I'm next to the top floor — on the other side of the window", Sakharov once joked, referring to the top floor of political power. This joke accurately reflects the uniqueness of his status, which has become his destiny.
Andrei Sakharov is a giant among thought leaders who have shaped the fate of mankind. This book is an important commemoration of his 100th birthday to summarize his creative experience of "producing miracles", which will help to find constructive solutions to the challenges of the 21st century. The peculiarity of this book is that the main storyteller is Sakharov himself: it collects the most significant quotes from his memoirs, alternate with vivid memories of people who knew him, offering documentaries and explanations.
