Books
In 2006, a Russian mathematician named Grigori Perelman solved one of the world's greatest intellectual puzzles. The Poincare conjecture is an extremely complex topological problem that had eluded the best minds for over a century. In telling his story, Masha Gessen has constructed a tale that sheds rare light on the unique burden of genius.
