Since the dawn of modern science, the figure of the "mad scientist" has inhabited both the popular culture and the nooks and crannies of real history. This archetype, as seductive as it is terrifying, has served as a mirror for our hopes and fears regarding knowledge, power, and the limits of humans. In the depths of the laboratory, isolated from the world, this character seems to move between genius and madness, defying social norms, morals, and even nature.
But where does this come from? What reveals his persistence at the time? And still, how much is myth and how much is reality? Behind the stained lab coat of the scientist who sacrifices everything for an idea?
