A provocative collection of letters to his longtime friend and
translator that spans Einstein’s career and reveals the inner
thoughts and daily life of a transformative genius From their early
days as tutor and scholar discussing philosophy over Spartan dinners
to their work together to publish Einstein’s books in Europe, in
Maurice Solovine, Albert Einstein found both an engaged mind and a
loyal friend. While Einstein frequently shared his observations on
science, politics, philosophy, and religion in his correspondence with
Solovine, he was just as likely to express his feelings about everyday
life—his health and the effects of aging and his experiences in the
various places where he settled and visited in his long career. The
letters are both funny and frank, and taken together, reflect the
changes—large and small—that took place over a half century and in
the remarkable life of the world’s foremost scientist. Published
in English alongside the German text and accompanied by facsimile
copies of the original letters, the collected Letters to Solovine
offers scholar and interested reader alike unprecedented access to the
personal life of Albert Einstein. This authorized ebook features a
new introduction by Neil Berger, PhD, and an illustrated biography of
Albert Einstein, which includes rare photos and never-before-seen
documents from the Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University
of Jerusalem.
