Yet after decades of leading a ghost-like existence, he was to re-emerge to win a Nobel Prize and world acclaim. The inspiration for a major motion picture directed by Ron Howard, Sylvia Nasar's award-winning biography is a drama about the mystery of the human mind, a triumph over incredible adversity, and the healing power of love. Book and dust-jacket are both clean and in lovely conditon with only very feint signs of use - pages 132 and 134 have a minute, closed tear in the margin. A Near Fine copy in a Near Fine dust-jacket; jacket is in loose protective cover. .
