Oppenheimer. Trionfo e caduta dell'inventore della bomba atomica
Oppenheimer. Trionfo e caduta dell'inventore della bomba atomica
Kai Bird
Considerato uno dei più grandi scienziati di tutti i tempi e un autentico prodigio della fisica, Robert Oppenheimer coordinò il leggendario progetto Manhattan che nel 1945 produsse la prima bomba atomica, consacrando la sua carriera. Di fronte all'esito devastante dei bombardamenti su Hiroshima e Nagasaki, tuttavia, il «distruttore di mondi» avanzò una radicale proposta per il controllo internazionale dei materiali nucleari e si oppose con fermezza alla realizzazione della bomba all'idrogeno. A questa figura tragica ed eroica Kai Bird e Martin J. Sherwin hanno dedicato una monumentale biografia che nel 2006 ha ricevuto il premio Pulitzer: "Oppenheimer" ripercorre la parabola di una vera icona dell'America degli anni Quaranta, dall'oscurità alla fama che lo portò a partecipare alle grandi sfide e ai grandi trionfi del XX secolo, fino all'umiliazione di trovarsi coinvolto, nel 1954, in una terribile inchiesta che avrebbe compromesso per sempre la sua reputazione. Riflessione profonda sul rapporto tra scienza e potere, questo magistrale racconto proietta, attraverso la vita di un uomo, nuove luci e nuove ombre sulla storia di tutti noi.
