A beautiful mind

Handsome and disconcertingly aloof, John Forbes Nash made a brilliant mathematical discovery early in his career and stood on the brink of international acclaim. But the hectic life he leads turns out to be the delusions of advanced schizophrenia.

  • "A vingt et un ans, John Forbes Nash, jeune mathématicien de Princeton né en 1928, dans les montagnes de Virginie, révolutionne la théorie des jeux. Il n'a pas encore trente ans lorsque, professeur au MIT, il résout une série de problèmes jugés "impossibles", entrant ainsi au panthéon des mathématiques. Admis à l'Institut des études avancées, aussi excentrique dans son travail que dans sa vie privée, il se permet d'interroger le vieil Einstein sur ses théories. Mais Nash devient schizophrène. Atteint d'hallucinations, obsédé de numérologie, il croit que des extraterrestres veulent entrer en contact avec lui, se prend pour un messie. Pendant trente ans, il ira d'hôpital en hôpital, hantant les couloirs de Princeton entre deux crises. Jusqu'à la fin des années 80, où il retrouve miraculeusement la raison, reprend ses travaux scientifiques et reçoit, en 1994, le prix Nobel d'économie."

  • "In this biography, Sylvia Nasar re-creates the life of a mathematical genius whose brilliant career was cut short by schizophrenia and who, after three decades of devastating mental illness, miraculously recovered and was honored with a Nobel Prize. A Beautiful Mind traces the meteoric rise of John Forbes Nash, Jr., from his lonely childhood in West Virginia to his student years at Princeton, where he encountered Albert Einstein, John von Neumann, and a host of other mathematical luminaries. At twenty-one, the handsome, ambitious, eccentric graduate student invented what would become the most influential theory of rational human behavior in modern social science. Nash's contribution to game theory would ultimately revolutionize the field of economics. At thirty, Nash was poised to take his dreamed-of place in the pantheon of history's greatest mathematicians. Then Nash suffered a catastrophic mental breakdown Nasar details Nash's harrowing descent into insanity - his bizarre delusions that he was the Prince of Peace; his resignation from MIT, flight to Europe, and attempt to renounce his American citizenship; his repeated hospitalizations, from the storied McLean, where he came to know the poet Robert Lowell, to the crowded wards of a state hospital; his "enforced interludes of rationality" during which he was able to return briefly to mathematical research. At age sixty-six, twin miracles - a spontaneous remission of his illness and the sudden decision of the Nobel Prize committee to honor his contributions to game theory - restored the world to him. Nasar recounts the bitter behind-the-scenes battle in Stockholm over whether to grant the ultimate honor in science to a man thought to be "mad." She describes Nash's current ambition to pursue new mathematical breakthroughs and his efforts to be a loving father to his adult sons."

  • "Winner of 4 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, A Beautiful Mind is directed by Academy Award winner Ron Howard and produced by long-time partner and collaborator, Academy Award winner Brian Grazer. A Beautiful Mind stars Russell Crowe in an astonishing performance as brilliant mathematician John Nash, on the brink of international acclaim when he becomes entangled in a mysterious conspiracy. Now only his devoted wife (Academy Award winner Jennifer Connelly) can help him in this powerful story of courage, passion and triumph."@en
