Goodbye Berlin

Más información sobre el libro

The 24th of March, 1939, was a poignant day for twelve-year-old Gerald Wiener. He was on a train pulling out of Berlin and he was on his way to the UK to escape persecution in Nazi Germany. Looked after by two sisters in Oxford, his abilities as a scholar became apparent. There followed a distinguished career as a research scientist in Edinburgh, where he made a genetic discovery: the cloning of Dolly the sheep. This book shows how one man's life and achievements mirror the great events of the second half of the twentieth century and the opening years of the new millennium.
