Il libro ricostruisce la storia dei personaggi e delle scoperte che condussero all'invenzione della Tavola Periodica degli Elementi da parte del chimico Dmitrij Ivanovic Mendeleev nel 1869. La Tavola Periodica degli Elementi è una delle icone più celebri della modernità. Presente nelle aule di scienze di tutte le scuole e università, rappresenta anche una fonte di ispirazione per artisti e scrittori. Primo Levi la definì una "meravigliosa poesia". Ma come si è giunti alla realizzazione di questo vero e proprio capolavoro scientifico? Una storia straordinaria e affascinante, che si svolge tra idee e laboratori, filosofie e biografie, scoperte ed eventi politici, che vedono protagoniste in particolare due nazioni europee, la Russia e l'Italia. In appendice, tre lettere inedite di Mendeleev a scienziati italiani. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… This book reconstructs the history of the characters and discoveries that led to the invention of the Periodic Table of the Elements by the chemist Dmitrij Ivanovic Mendeleev in 1869. The Periodic Table of the Elements is one of the most famous icons of modernity. Present in the science classrooms of all schools and universities, it is also a source of inspiration for artists and writers. Primo Levi called it a "wonderful poem". But how did we come to the realization of this true scientific masterpiece? An extraordinary and fascinating story, which takes place between ideas and laboratories, philosophies and biographies, discoveries and political events, which see in particular two European nations, Russia and Italy. In the appendix, three unpublished letters by Mendeleev to Italian scientists.]
