Abstract
Max Delbrück, or just Max as he was called by all his associates, was one of the outstanding natural scientists of our time. A man of rare intellectual ability, clarity of thought and perception, he excelled in theoretical physics, biology and philosophy, and possessed a deep knowledge and appreciation of the arts. His dedication to truth, and his intolerance of half-truths and intellectual pretension, were sometimes expressed with a disturbing frankness and abruptness of manner, often construed as arrogance by those who did not know him well.Keywords
