When We Cease to Understand the World plunges us into the brilliant yet tumultuous minds of scientific luminaries as they venture into uncharted intellectual territories. We find ourselves thrust into the psyches of Fritz Haber, Alexander Grothendieck, Werner Heisenberg, and Erwin Schrödinger, among others, as they wrestle with existence's most profound enigmas.
These extraordinary individuals experience flashes of unrivalled genius, but their pursuits often come at a steep cost. Relationships crumble, and sanity teeters on the brink as they delve deeper into their obsessions. Their discoveries, while revolutionary, teeter on a knife's edge between progress and catastrophe, blurring the lines between benefaction and devastation.
With meticulous attention to detail and a breakneck narrative pace, Benjamín Labatut harnesses the power of fiction to crack open the fascinating tales of scientists and mathematicians who dared to expand the boundaries of human understanding. This captivating work invites readers to explore the exhilarating and often perilous realm where brilliance and madness converge.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
