Description:
"The Indian Clerk" is an extraordinary novel that tells the true story of the discovery of one of history's greatest mathematicians, Srinivasa Ramanujan, in rural India. The book is set in January 1913 in Cambridge, England, where G.H. Hardy, a brilliant British mathematician, receives a mysterious letter from a self-professed mathematical genius in India.
The letter intrigues Hardy, who decides to learn more about this Indian clerk, Ramanujan, who claims to be on the verge of solving a groundbreaking mathematical problem. This decision sets in motion a series of events that not only impact Hardy's life but also the history of mathematics.
The novel is set against the backdrop of World War I and features notable historical figures such as D.H. Lawrence and Bertrand Russell. It explores themes of collaboration, colonialism, sexual identity, and the nature of genius.
