- Summary:
- Albert Einstein tried to uncover a new vision of the world and the Universe. He came very close, giving a radically new shape to our understanding of nature and our dreams. His thinking and above all, his personality have continually fascinated scientists, historians, and philosophers; Albert Einstein has often been called the "brightest man alive," a "Megabrain." Yet very few people know what he actually discovered, or what kind of man he was. Who was this little man wish disheveled hair, this violin virtuoso who sometimes forgot to eat? Combining a captivating biography with photographs and documents.
