Sophus Lie (1842-1899) is one of the greatest Norwegian figures in science. The notoriety that his work has earned him has nothing to envy that of his illustrious compatriot Niels Henrik Abel. Groups and Lie algebras have acquired citizenship in many areas. In this detailed biography, the writer Arild Stubhaug, drawing on Lie's voluminous correspondence, describes Norwegian man and society in the second half of the 19th century. The reader can thus follow his childhood in a rectory nestled at the bottom of a fjord, discover the educational reforms, travel in Europe, frequent the elite of the mathematical world.
