- The language of the book is Persian.
- On the shores of a lake in New Jersey, two eccentrics meet and become friends. One is Albert Einstein; the other is a vagabond who has broken with society. To this chance confidant, Einstein explains his dilemma. A militant pacifist, he knows the terrifying consequences of his theoretical work and fears that Hitler and the Nazis will build the first atomic bomb. Should he renounce his convictions and warn Roosevelt, so that America can win the race for the fatal weapon? What side should he take when the FBI begins to suspect him, the German, the left-wing sympathizer... the traitor perhaps? In this intelligent and serious comedy, sometimes funny, Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt imagines the moral conflict of a man of genius, the inventor in spite of himself of the machine to destroy the world.
