    Un scientifique britannique d'origine polono-juive, dont le travail a fait le pont entre les mathématiques et la biologie, explorant le voyage de l'humanité à travers l'effort scientifique. Il est surtout connu pour une série télévisée fondamentale qui examine l'histoire du progrès humain par la science et l'innovation. Grâce à une recherche méticuleuse et à sa capacité à relier des domaines variés, il a mis en lumière le rôle crucial de l'imagination et du langage symbolique dans l'avancement des connaissances. Ses réflexions sur la nature humaine et les produits intellectuels continuent de résonner.

      William Blake was an engraver, painter, and visionary mystic as well as one of the most revolutionary of the Romantic poets. His writing attracted the astonished admiration of authors as diverse as Wordsworth, Ruskin, W.B. Yeats, and beat poet Allen Ginsberg. He is one of England's most original artists whose works aim to liberate imaginative energies and subvert 'the mind-forged manacles' of restriction. This volume contains many of his writings, including: 'Songs of Innocence', 'Songs of Experience', 'The Marriage of Heaven and Hell', and a generous selection from the Prophetic Books including 'Milton' and 'Jerusalem'.
