This account of Albert Einstein's life is based on the author's personal acquaintance and draws on thousands of pages of letters and other papers. It fills many gaps in our knowledge of the scientist's life, dealing with his interest in philosophy, his concern with Jewish destiny, and his opinions on figures from Newton to Freud. The author also examines the state of physics at the turn of the century and how Einstein transformed the field.
