1995 marked the 50th anniversary of Stefan Banach's death. Until
now, the general English speaking public has had no access to an
in-depth life story of a mathematician whose name is one of those
most often encountered in modern mathematical research. This small
volume, originally written in Polish by a well-known reporter, is
an effort to fill that gap in the biographical literature. It is
based on original archival sources, dozens of interviews with
people who knew and remember Banach, and conversations with
mathematicians who are familiar with Banach's work and its impact
on modern mathematics. The author presents engaging descriptions of
Banach's personality and the unusual milieu in which he worked.
Further, Chapter V focuses on the famous Scottish cafe, which like
Banach himself, has achieved a mythical dimension in mathematical
lore. The English edition has been revised to include new materials
and many photographs, and to reflect the interests of a broader
international audience."
