Richard Feynman - Nobel Laureate, teacher, icon and genius - possessed an unquenchable thirst for adventure and an unparalleled gift for telling the extraordinary stories of his life. In this collection of short pieces and reminiscences he describes everything from his love of beauty to college pranks to how his father taught him to think. He takes us behind the scenes of the space shuttle Challenger investigation, where he dramatically revealed the cause of the disaster with a simple experiment. And he tells us of how he met his beloved first wife Arlene, and their brief time together before her death. Sometimes intensely moving, sometimes funny, these writings are infused with Feynman`s curiosity and passion for life.

I`d been kicked out of two boarding schools and the last thing I wanted was to be here, on the East Anglian coast, in a third. But without St. Oswald`s, I would not have discovered the fisherman`s hut with its roaring fire, its striped blankets, its sea monster stew. Without St. Oswald`s, I would not have met the boy with the beautiful eyes, the flickering half-smile, and no past. Without St. Oswald`s, I would not have met Finn. And without Finn, there would be no story. Shall we begin?
