What is it like to run parallel to a ray of light? Albert Einstein has been thinking this for sixteen years - and since then, the world will never be the same again. We live in the Einstein universe. From nuclear energy to fiber optics, technology, science, our own lives are evolving based on his own theories. So who was the man who was able to grasp the mystery of the world? What made him see beyond what all his contemporaries saw? And why did he become dear to millions of people who did not even understand his theory? The author of the famous biography of Steve Jobs in a fascinating way reconstructs the life and personality of the man who sealed not the 20th century but the future. He detects the very essence of his genius: his inexhaustible curiosity, his imagination, his revolutionary spirit. And it highlights, through its varied course, what is perhaps its greatest legacy today: the demand for individual and spiritual freedom.
