With a passion for rich and evocative detail, Robert Kanigel takes us from them temples and teeming slums of Madras to the courts and chapels of Cambridge University, where the devout Hindu Ramanujan, “the Prince of Intuition”, tested his theories alongside the sophisticated and eccentric Hardy, “the Apostle of Proof.” In time, Ramanujans creative intensity took its toll: he died at the age of thirty-two and left behind a magical and inspired legacy that is still being plumbed for its secrets today.
