Einstein was nationally unbound – a dove in flight over the vast cosmic ocean, making indelible impacts wherever he landed on the shore.īeyond Einstein’s pacifism, global humanitarianism and scientific insight, what kept me glued to this vast biography were the faults he displayed. He was a music lover who played a mean fiddle he influenced philosophy, politics, and education systems. Personal letters hitherto unviewed allow Isaacson to develop the personal side of Einstein’s life, something earlier biographers could only guess at, resulting in a deeply intimate biography.Įinstein’s influence was and is not felt in scientific communities alone. These traits are just as vital for this new century of globalization, in which our success will depend on our creativity, as they were for the beginning of the last century, when Einstein helped usher in the modern age.Benefiting from the release and declassification of many key documents relating to Einstein’s life and work, Isaacson paints a rich portrait of the man whose name has become synonymous with genius.
This led him to embrace a morality and politics based on respect for free minds, free spirits, and free individuals. His success came from questioning conventional wisdom and marveling at mysteries that struck others as mundane. His fascinating story is a testament to the connection between creativity and freedom.īased on newly released personal letters of Einstein, this book explores how an imaginative, impertinent patent clerk-a struggling father in a difficult marriage who couldn’t get a teaching job or a doctorate-became the mind reader of the creator of the cosmos, the locksmith of the mysteries of the atom, and the universe. How did his mind work? What made him a genius? Isaacson’s biography shows how his scientific imagination sprang from the rebellious nature of his personality. , this is the definitive biography of Albert Einstein.
