    About this audiobook

    While his early childhood was unimpressive, Einstein later earned the respect of the entire world and won the coveted Nobel Prize. His name is the most revered in physics. Even though he was a well-respected genius, Einstein mingled freely among ordinary folk, just as easily as he did scholars and politicians. And while Einstein had a great sense of humor, he was also a bit reckless in the way he led his personal life.To truly appreciate this brilliant scientist, who, at the age of 26, wrote the scholarly articles that fundamentally altered the foundation of physics, it is first important to look at his background and the environment in which he grew up in. Interestingly, while Einstein’s performance in math and physics was outstanding, he was not the only one in his family with a brilliant mind. His father also had an inclination towards mathematics, and his sister earned a doctorate in literature.

      An interesting overview of one of the most fascinating personalities of the 20th century. Unfortunately, the structure of the biography by themes rather than chronology leads to numerous repetitions and the narrator's American pronunciation of foreign names and phrases is absolutely dreadful, so that I often didn't recognise them despite being a research scientist myself .
