“Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!”
Adventures of a Curious Character
Richard P. Feynman (Author), Ralph Leighton (Editor)
A New York Times bestseller—the outrageous exploits of one of this century's greatest scientific minds and a legendary American original.
In this phenomenal national bestseller, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard P. Feynman recounts in his inimitable voice his adventures trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek, painting a naked female toreador, accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums and much else of an eyebrow-raising and hilarious nature.
