Einstein in Love

"In Einstein in Love Dennis Overbye has written a biography that at last separates the man, Albert, from the myth of Einstein and restores humanity and nuance to a person whom the notoriety of genius has nearly rendered an abstraction. Einstein in Love reveals the scientist as very much a young man of his time - a draft dodger, a self-styled bohemian, a poet, a violinist, and a cocky, charismatic whirlwind who left personal and professional chaos in his wake.". "Drawing upon hundreds of unpublished letters and a decade of research, Dennis Overbye has written a definitive portrait of the coming-of-age of the most influential thinker of the modern era."--BOOK JACKET.
