The Wave: Anny Schrödinger's Notebook
"I married a man who never knew how to stay in one place."
Alpbach, 1961. Erwin Schrödinger has just died. On the kitchen table sits a cardboard box with his notebooks and letters, and his wife decides not to open it yet: first she will write her own version of forty years of marriage, while the memory is still hers and not the papers'.
Because history dismissed Anny Schrödinger in a single line. And that line says nothing of the pact the two of them sealed on their wedding night, in a Vienna without coal. Nor of Christmas 1925, when Erwin went up alone into the snows of Arosa with a woman whose name no one has ever known, and came down the mountain with the equation that changed the world.
She knew. She stayed for forty years. And now, at last, she speaks.
THE WAVE is the missing voice in the life of the man with the cat: a portrait of a genius told from very close up, with devastating irony and no apologies. Physics, desire and exile in the same sentence, built on rigorously documented facts.
And inside the box is something she does not expect.
