Alcune storie sono troppo assurde per non essere raccontate, come l'epico scontro Alessandro Volta VS Luigi Galvani, tra rane morte ed energia elettrica che ha ispirato la nascita del mostro di Frankenstein. O ancora Stephen Hawking e quella sua fissa per i buchi neri, Margherita Hack che pedalava verso l'osservatorio tra le bombe della seconda guerra mondiale, Richard Feynman che scassinava casseforti durante il progetto Manhattan, Lord Kelvin il barone della morte termica dell'Universo, Enrico Fermi che ha scisso l'atomo e dato il via all'era nucleare.

Legendarul restaurant Eleven Madison Park era o braserie de două stele aflată într-o situație delicată când Will Guidara a preluat cârma.

Angajații restaurantului au depășit cu mult așteptările clienților.

Este sfârșitul anului 1932. Trei prieteni reuniți la faimoasa cafenea Bec-de-Gaz de pe rue Montparnasse din Paris dezbat aprins în timp ce își sorb cocktailul de caise. Detaliu care, la o primă vedere, ar putea părea o simplă anecdotă, dacă nu ar fi prilejuit nașterea unui sistem filozofic care a marcat istoria intelectuală a secolului XX: existențialismul. Cei trei prieteni sunt Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir și Raymond Aron, iar episodul întâlnirii lor dă tonul acestei admirabile relatări, care ne poartă pe urmele celor mai importanți făuritori de idei filozofice ai veacului trecut.

C'è chi si indispettisce, c'è chi si esalta e c'è invece chi si rende conto, come il giovane Heisenberg durante la sua tormentata convalescenza a Helgoland, che probabilmente il traguardo è proprio questo: smettere di ascoltare il mondo come lo si è ascoltato fino a quel momento e avventurarsi verso una forma di comprensione assolutamente nuova. Per quanto terrore possa, a tratti, ispirare. È la via che ha preferito Benjamín Labatut, ricostruendo alcune scene che hanno deciso la nascita della scienza moderna.
