An autobiography written by a geneticist and joint winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1965. In the style of Proust he talks about his privileged Jewish childhood in Paris, his first love, his time in North Africa with the Free French forces and his return home after the war, and his turning relatively late in life to experimental medicine. The final part of the book recounts his scientific work at the Institut Pasteur. This book is part of the science book series sponsored by the Alfred P.Sloan Foundation. The series is designed to make the scientific experience and the excitement of discovery accessible to the general reader. Francois Jacob shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Andre Lwoff and Jacques Monod for their work on gene regulation.
