The Restless Hungarian
Modernism, Madness, and the American Dream
A revolutionary, a genius, and a haunted man… The story of architect-engineer Paul Weidlinger, whose colleagues called the wizard, traverses the rise of Modern architecture, the Holocaust and the Cold War. A Hungarian Jew who escaped the Holocaust, Paul Weidlinger became one of the most creative structural engineers of the twentieth century. The revelation of hidden Jewish identity propels the author to trace his father’s life and adventures across three continents.
