Meer over het boek

The biography explores Alfred Wegener's remarkable journey from his childhood in Berlin to his tragic winter in Greenland in 1930, where he ultimately perished. It highlights his scientific passion for understanding the world and his quest for solitude, shaped by his upbringing in an orphanage run by his parents. Despite facing ridicule from contemporaries for his theory of continental drift, which gained recognition only posthumously, Wegener's adventurous spirit and enduring legacy are vividly captured in this compelling narrative.
