Beschreibung:I regard the possibility, provided by Birkhauser Verlag, to publish in English the book about my father, Yakov Il'ich Frenkel (1894-1952),* as an honour and recognition of his contribution to the development of physics in the 20th century. Publication of this book shortly after Frenkel's centennial is of special value. I would like to express here my deep gratitude to the publishers. More than 30 years ago, by the initiative of I. E. Tamm, a special issue of the Russian physical journal «Uspekhi fizicheskikh nauk» (UFN) /1962, v. 76, # 3-4, dedicated to Frenkel, was published. Professor Tamm, who had undertaken the composition of the introductory (biographical) paper for this issue, asked me to provide him with some materials for my father's biography. It was easy for me to accomplish this because, fortunately, a vast family correspondence was in existence, despite all the vicissitudes of life, like several wars and the siege of Leningrad. I assembled some fragments of my father's letters of 1906--1950 for Tamm. Having looked through them, Tamm told me: «But a whole book may come out of it! You must write it!» Stimulated by I. E. Tamm and by B. G. Kuznetsov, who strongly supported the idea, I began to work on the book which, in the spirit of one of M. Faraday's biographies, could be titled «The Life and Letters of Jacov Frenkel»
