England, 1881. Two of the most important thinkers of the 19th century live a few kilometers apart from each other. Charles Darwin lives in the countryside of Kent, Karl Marx in the heart of London. With their works, they have forever changed the world, each in their own way, laying new foundations for science, philosophy, and political thought. Yet, both men suffer from insomnia and bouts of melancholy. Isolated from social life and the scientific community, Darwin spends his days studying earthworms. Marx desperately tries to write the second volume of Capital, while eagerly awaiting the uprising of the proletariat. Until one evening, they meet by chance at a dinner...
Gerger portrays her characters with humor but also with deep empathy, managing to craft the portraits of two great thinkers whose legacy is as relevant as ever.
