científicos más importantes de la historia y un icono del siglo XX.¿Cómo funcionaba su mente?¿Qué le hizo un genio?¿Cómo
era el ser humano detrás del personaje público? En la primera biografía completa de Albert Einstein escrita con acceso a
todos sus archivos, Walter Isaacson logra un extraordinario retrato del personaje y de su época y un fascinante relato
de su vida. A partir de la correspondencia privada de Einstein, Isaacson cuenta cómo un funcionario de patentes
imaginativo e impertinente (un mal padre con un matrimonio complicado, incapaz de conseguir un empleo en la universidad
ni un doctorado) fue capaz de desvelar los secretos del cosmos y comprender los misterios del átomo y del universo. Su
creatividad estaba ligada a su rebeldía, y su éxito se basó en cuestionar las verdades aceptadas y en asombrarse ante
cuestiones que otros consideraban mundanas. Así llegó a una moral y unas ideas políticas que pasaban por el respeto a
las mentes libres, los espíritus libres y los individuos libres. Su fascinante historia demuestra la relación entre
creatividad y libertad. «Espléndida, un gran trabajo de investigación con mucho material inédito. Una obra fundamental y
definitiva.» Amir D. Aczel, The Boston Globe In the first full biography of Albert Einstein written with access to all
his files, Walter Isaacson achieved an extraordinary portrait of the character and his time, and a fascinating account
of his life. Albert Einstein is one of the most important scientists in history and an icon of the twentieth century.
How did his mind work? What made him a genius? Who was the man behind the public persona? In the first full biography of
Albert Einstein written with access to all his files, Walter Isaacson achieves an extraordinary portrait of the
character and the life and time of Albert Einstein. From private correspondence of Einstein, Isaacson tells how an
imaginative, impertinent patent clerk (who was also a bad her with a complicated marriage, unable to get a job in
college or a doctorate) was able to unlock the secrets of the cosmos and understand the mysteries of the atom and the
universe. His creativity was linked to his rebellion, and his success was based on questioning accepted truths and
marvel at what others considered mundane issues, and his fascinating story demonstrates the relationship between the
creative mind and free thinking.
