Marcel Grossmann's granddaughter paints here a picture of a fiery and many-talented scientist and patriot. She traces the influence of an entrepreneurial family during Germany's rapid industrial expansion in the late 19th century. The family's fluctuating fortunes take the story to the vibrant city of Budapest on the Danube; they enable readers to sense the pioneering spirit at Zurich's young Polytechnic Institute (now ETH Zurich) - but also reflect the worries and hardships of the First World War and interwar years.
The Foreword is written by Prof. Remo Ruffini, founder and president of the International Center for Relativistic Astrophysics and the Marcel Grossmann Meetings. Last but not least, an extensive contribution by Dr. Tilman Sauer offers a scientific-historical appreciation of Marcel Grossmann's enduring contributions.
Claudia Graf-Grossmann is the granddaughter of Marcel Grossmann. Her professional specialty is business economics and communication. In addition to this biography of her grandfather, she has also published a German-language novel. Claudia Graf-Grossmann lives in Switzerland and in France.
