Biography & True Stories

Einstein & the tragedy of the 20th century

by Simon Veille

Description

Drawing on numerous unpublished documents, notably the Einstein archives in Jerusalem, Simon Veille sheds new light on the personality of the famous scientist: a man of influence greeted by enthusiastic crowds, he never sought power. This unusual disinterestedness, but above all the astonishing correctness of his political intuitions and the ethical dimension of his commitment make him, even today, a reference within chaos, giving him in the eyes of all a real aura of a prophet.
