Title: A Beautiful Mind Subtitle: The Life of Mathematical Genius and Nobel Laureate John Nash Author: Sylvia Nasar Narrator: Edward Herrmann Format: Abridged Length: 5 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 11-30-01 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 230 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Science & Technology Leaders Publisher's Summary: "Because the ideas I had about supernatural beings came to me the same way my mathematical ideas did," came the answer. "So I took them seriously." Thus begins the true story of John Nash, the mathematical genius who was a legend by age 30, when he slipped into madness. Thanks to the selflessness of a beautiful woman and the loyalty of the mathematics community, he emerged after decades of ghostlike existence to win a Nobel Prize and world acclaim. The inspiration for a new motion picture starring Russell Crowe, Sylvia Nasar's award-winning biography is a drama about the mystery of the human mind, triumph over incredible adversity, and the healing power of love. Critic Reviews: "[This biography] could plausibly be described as a three-handkerchief read." (Wall Street Journal) "Rarely has the fragility of the boundary separating genius from madness been illustrated with more compelling insight." (Booklist)
