Description
Book SynopsisSet in the turbulent post-World War I period, this volume finds Einstein awaiting news of the 1919 British eclipse expedition to test the general relativistic prediction of the deflection of starlight by the sun. It reveals fresh facets of Einstein as he constructively participated in German and European scientific, academic, and cultural life.
Trade Review"This centenary year brings another installment of Einstein's Collected Papers, in a revealing and meticulously annotated volume that contains correspondence from January 1919 to April 1920. It covers such diverse subjects as his divorce and remarriage, the death of his mother, his love if the Brothers Karamazov, and a violin."--PD Smith, The Guardian
