Description

Solar follows Nobel Prize-winning physicist Michael Beard as he navigates the intersection of climate science and personal controversy. McEwan crafts a sharp narrative around Beard's discovery of a method to combat global warming, yet the scientist's inflammatory public statements about women and his five marriages constantly overshadow his groundbreaking environmental work. When a bizarre accident presents an unexpected opportunity, Beard sees a chance to escape his marital entanglements, revitalise his flagging career, and potentially save the world from environmental catastrophe. This contemporary fiction novel from Uitgeverij De Harmonie explores themes of ambition, redemption, and the gap between scientific achievement and personal integrity, drawing on McEwan's 2005 Arctic expedition research to ground the narrative in authentic climate science.

Key Features

Ian McEwan's contemporary fiction novel examines a Nobel Prize-winning physicist caught between scientific innovation and personal scandal.

The narrative centres on Michael Beard's revolutionary approach to combating global warming amid constant media controversy.

Beard's tumultuous personal life, marked by five marriages, creates tension that mirrors his struggle for credibility in climate science.

McEwan incorporates authentic Arctic research from his 2005 expedition to ground the novel's environmental themes in reality.

Published by Uitgeverij De Harmonie, this literary fiction explores the complex relationship between achievement, redemption, and integrity.
