8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. xv + 416 pages. No figure towers over the intellectual landscape of the 20th century more compellingly than Albert Einstein. This is the first biography of the great physicist to focus on his life during the first two decades of the century, when he invented relativity, with its elastic view of space and time, and first glimpsed the quantum chaos in the heart of atoms. Despite his brilliance, he was also a young man in love - not only with the exhilarating vistas of physics, but with the extraordinary woman who was to become his first wife. Mileva Maric was a brooding and gifted Serb mathematician who was intellectual collaborator and emotional adversary. Drawing upon hundreds of unpublished letters and a decade of research, Overbye reveals Einstein as a self-styled bohemian, a poet, a violinist and a self-confident, charismatic whirlwind who left personal and professional turmoil in his wake.
