Most of them will have honors and prizes showered upon them. But there will be exceptions, numerous exceptions: We don't know how many because they never make it; they fall by the wayside. They believe themselves to be alone in a hostile world, unable to adapt, unable to bring their ideas to fruition. They detest their inferiors and detest even more their superiors. One such genius, a historian with acute observations about the past and the future, was immortalized by Ibsen in his play Hedda Gabler. The Portrait of a Genius tells a similar story. Dramatis personae are the following: Helen Gascoigne, young, beautiful, uncompromising; Leslie Brock, the dean of the faculty who wants to bed her; George Turner, Helen's devoted husband, a scientist not burdened with great leaps of imagination; Esmund, the reckless genius who invents an entirely new kind of computer; and finally, Rosalind, girlfriend and admirer of Esmund.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laszlo Solymar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1481783610\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781481783613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.21d","brand":"Laszlo Solymar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445145776383,"sku":"9781481783613","price":13.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4c4477fa-bd5e-4586-b764-77c599223fd4.jpg?v=1777216830","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-portrait-of-a-genius-laszlo-solymar-9781481783613","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
