The 1 NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller The basis for
the PBS Ken Burns Documentary The Gene An
Intimate History From the Pulitzer
Prize8211wining author of The Emperor of All
Maladies8212afascinating history of the gene
and 8220amagisterial account of how human
minds have laboriously, ingeniously picked apart
what makes us tick8221(Elle). 8220SiMukherjee
has the uncanny ability to bring together
science, history, and the future in a way that
is understandable and riveting, guiding us
through both time and the mystery of life
itself.82218212Ke Burns8220Dr Siddhartha
Mukherjee dazzled readers with his Pulitzer
Prize-winning The Emperor of All Maladies in
2010. That achievement was evidently just a
warm-up for his virtuoso performance in The Gene
An Intimate History, in which he braids science,
history, and memoir into an epic with all the
range and biblical thunder of Paradise
Lost8221(The New York Times). In this biography
Mukherjee brings to life the quest to understand
human heredity and its surprising influence on
our lives, personalities, identities, fates, and
choices. 8220Muherjee expresses abstract
intellectual ideas through emotional
stories8230and swaddles his medical rigor with
rhapsodic tenderness, surprising vulnerability,
and occasional flashes of pure poetry8221(The
Washington Post). Throughout, the story of
Mukherjee8217sown family8212wih its tragic
and bewildering history of mental
illness8212reinds us of the questions that hang
over our ability to translate the science of
genetics from the laboratory to the real world.
In riveting and dramatic prose, he describes the
centuries of research and experimentation8212frm
Aristotle and Pythagoras to Mendel and Darwin,
from Boveri and Morgan to Crick, Watson and
Franklin, all the way through the revolutionary
twenty-first century innovators who mapped the
human genome. 8220Afascinating and often
sobering history of how humans came to
understand the roles of genes in making us who we
are8212an what our
4
manipulation of those genes might mean for our
future8221(Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel), The
Gene is the revelatory and magisterial history of
a scientific idea coming to life, the most
crucial science of our time, intimately
explained by a master. 8220ThGene is a book
we all should read8221(USA TODAY).
