Esther Simpson

Beschreibung

The thousands of academic refugees Esther Simpson helped rescue are well remembered and feted with Nobel Prizes, knighthoods and admiration. But who was the woman who saved them and why has history forgotten her?

Autor

John Eidinow has published three books with his co-author David Edmonds, each describing knock-down, drag-out clashes between men of titanic gifts: Wittgenstein's Poker (Random House), which was shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award and translated into over thirty languages; Bobby Fischer Goes to War (Faber & Faber), which was long listed for the Samuel Johnson prize; and Rousseau's Dog (Faber & Faber). Eidinow was a presenter and interviewer for BBC Radio 4 and World Service, working in news and current affairs, and making documentaries on historical and contemporary issues.
