Gregor Johann Mendel continues to fascinate the general public as
well as scholars, the former for his life and the latter for his
achievements. Solitude of a Humble Genius is a two-volume biography
presenting Mendel in the context of the history of biology and
philosophy, and in the context of the setting in which he lived and
worked. In this first volume the authors set the stage for a new
interpretation of Mendel's achievements and personality. The period
of Mendel's life covered by this volume is critical to
understanding why he saw what other biologists, including Charles
Darwin, for example, didn't. In searching for clues to Mendel's
thinking, the authors discuss at length the origin of his genes;
the history of the region of his birth; they also spend a day and
then the four seasons of the year with his family; and finally they
examine the schooling he received, as well as the cultural and
political influences he was exposed to. An indispensible part of
the work is Norman Klein's artwork. In this first volume alone, it
comprises nearly 80 original drawings and includes cartoons that
enliven the narration, scenes from Mendel's life, portraits, and
plans and drawings of the cities and buildings in which he lived,
studied, and worked.
