The immortal student

A girl genius in literature, talking about a mother genius in science, a conversation that imagination did not create but despises everything imagination creates, and it did not surpass history but exceeds everything that literature creates. It is the story of the "Eternal Student" by Eve Curie, and Eve — in their language — means Eve. The most wonderful story I have read about striving for science, sincerity to it, patience with it, and achieving it. And I find myself wronging this great work if I distort it with summarizing, presenting, or quoting.
