Beautiful Mind (audiobook mp3)

John Forbes Nash, Jr., a prodigy and legend by the age of thirty, dazzled the mathematical world by solving a series of deep problems deemed ';impossible' by other mathematicians. But at the height of his fame, Nash suffered a catastrophic mental breakdown and began a harrowing descent into insanity, resigning his post at MIT, slipping into a series of bizarre delusions, and eventually becoming a dreamy, ghostlike figure at Princeton, scrawling numerological messages on blackboards. He was all but forgotten by the outside worlduntil, remarkably, he emerged from his madness to win the Nobel Prize.A Beautiful Mind is ';a story about the mystery of the human mind, in three acts: genius, madness, reawakening.' A true drama, it is also a fascinating glimpse into the fragility of genius.
