Description
Book SynopsisPresents letters written by Einstein's sons, the adolescent Hans Albert and little Eduard, and numerous letters written by Einstein to his cousin and future second wife Elsa Einstein. Combined with correspondence with his close friend Heinrich Zangger, this supplementary correspondence provides details of Einstein's private life.
Trade Review"Like its predecessors, Volume 10, with its carefully edited and annotated texts, is a valuable source of information for historians. Together, its two parts provide new material for an appraisal of Einstein's familial and affective situation and offer vivid insight into one of the most intense periods of his life. Even if the content of some of these documents has been reported or hinted at elsewhere, their juxtaposition in a single volume reinforces their impact and helps to convey a sense of the scientific, philosophical, political, and social intensity of the times."--Jan Lacki, Isis
