This 1968 volume is the most significant Soviet edition of the personal memoirs of the Curie family, published as part of the prestigious "Nauka" scientific heritage series. The book features Marie Curie's intimate biography of her husband, Pierre, alongside touching reminiscences by their daughter Irène and son-in-law Frédéric Joliot-Curie. This edition is distinguished by its high academic pedigree: it was translated by the physicist Marianna Shaskolskaya and features an insightful afterword by Ilya Frank, the 1958 Nobel Prize laureate in Physics.
Beyond its scientific historical value, the book is a masterpiece of Soviet book design from the late 1960s, featuring a striking "brick-and-white" dust jacket and 16 pages of rare black-and-white photographs documenting the Curies' laboratory work and family life. It captures the human side of the discovery of radioactivity, portraying the Curies not just as legendary researchers, but as a family bound by a shared devotion to science and ethics.
