L'esprit des nombres

“Everything is numbers!” claimed the ancient Pythagoreans, these examiners of nature and of life. Through this short book, Wolfgang Held introduces us to the world’s hidden order: the relationships which are expressed in numbers are the revealed mysteries of the spirit which lives in man and the cosmos. To our surprise, we discover that each number is a unique being gifted with its own very specific personality. One sun, two parents, three meals, four seasons, five digits on a hand: it does not take the child long to work out that the majority of things in life consist of a very particular number, a number which is not simply a quantity or a sum but which speaks to us of the being himself.
