“The Martians” on the Manhattan Project were a team highly esteemed scientific figures who immigrated from Hungary. While closing offices used during the project, only one item couldn’t be categorized in the inventory of items found in the space utilized by the “Martian” team, and that was a worn and torn Hungarian copy of Imre Madách’s The Tragedy of Man. Together, we will examine the reasons why this masterwork found its way into their essential reference library.
