Blurb: “In a superb intellectual thriller, Arthur Koestler reopens one of the most sensational and bitter scientific controversies of the century-which ended with the 1926 suicide of an Austrian biologist whose experiments in evolution incurred the wrath of the international scientific community.
The Case of the Midwife Toad is an entirely new kind of book for Mr. Koestler, and perhaps only he could have written it, for it required expert knowledge and familiarity with scientific work in evolution, combined with the creativity and imaginative insight of an outstanding novelist
"A fascinating tale... for the biological technicalities are carefully explained and the bloodless wars for precedence among the biological fraternity are as sly and savage as a Borgia feud."—Atlantic”
