The allure of physics turned into wonderful novels
“Gabriella Greison is Italy’s physics rockstar.” Geo – Rai

The previously untold story of the genius who was supposed to build an atomic bomb for Hitler: Werner Heisenberg.
A dark chapter in history, told from an original and surprising viewpoint that restores a voice and humanity to the extraordinary minds who changed the world in the 20th century.

On 3 May 1945, the great German scientist Werner Heisenberg and nine other physicists are arrested and held by the Americans in an English country house, Farm Hall.

For six months, secret listening devices scattered all over the house intercept every conversation of theirs. The Allies are worried that Hitler is trying to build an atomic device and want to find out what stage the German nuclear programme is at. Only ten percent of these intercepts have been disclosed up to now. This is a novel about all the rest.

  • “Gabriella Greison has now become a sure thing in making physics alluring.”

    Corriere della Sera

  • “The author has given an answer to questions nobody had ever asked, using a literary form and narrative solutions worthy of a lesson by Ernest Hemingway, and a tendency towards bare essentials and detail that resembles Georges Simenon.”

    GQ

  • “Greison wants to break down the stereotypes in previous biographies.”

    “Il Venerdì”, la Repubblica
