Description
Albert Einstein's private life has long been shrouded in mystery. This unique collection of interviews offers a rare glimpse into his daily routines and personal habits. Conducted by science historian Friedrich Herneck, these conversations with Herta Waldow, who lived with Einstein and his family from 1927 to 1933, reveal the man behind the legend. From his love of classical music to his passion for sailing, and his many social engagements, these candid descriptions bring Einstein's idiosyncrasies to life. With a detailed introduction that sets the interviews in context, this book provides a vivid picture of Albert Einstein as a person, rather than just a famous scientist.
