    About the book: 2014 / On a rainy Friday evening, Cambridge University professor Andrew Martin finds a solution to the world's most difficult mathematical problem. It can change the entire course of human history. But Professor Martin suddenly and without a trace disappears. When he is found some time later... walking along the highway without any item of clothing on his body, Professor Martin behaves a little strangely. To his wife and son he seems somehow different. To him, absolutely everything around him seems absurd, people - worthy of pity, human life - devoid of meaning. Everyone around him disgusts him. Everyone except Newton. An old, half-blind dog. Can Debussy, David Bowie, Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson keep Andrew Martin from committing the murder he is being forced to do? Is there anything that goes better with a glass of white wine than a peanut butter sandwich? And what strange feeling comes over him when he looks into his wife’s eyes? This witty, funny and sad book at the same time is about how difficult it is to be human. And how amazingly cool it is!
