Die Bestsellerbiografie über Albert Einstein — jetzt endlich auf Deutsch Walter Isaacson, der schon in seinen Bestsellern über Steve Jobs oder Leonardo da Vinci dem Zusammenhang von Kreativität und Freiheit nachspürte, arbeitet in seiner umfassenden Biografie Albert Einsteins überzeugend heraus, wie dessen geniale wissenschaftliche Einbildungskraft nicht zuletzt auch der rebellischen Natur seiner Persönlichkeit entsprang. Eingehend erkundet er, wie Einstein zeitlebens und schon in den 1900er-Jahren als fantasiebegabter »Angestellter dritter Klasse« beim Schweizer Patentamt — ein mit den Widrigkeiten des Lebens kämpfender Vater in einer problematischen Ehe, dem trotz hervorragender Begabung Promotion oder Assistentenstelle versagt blieb — überlieferte Gewissheiten konsequent hinterfragte. Einstein nämlich begann sich dort zu wundern, wo andere nur Altbekanntes am Werke sahen. Niemand vor ihm, so macht Isaacson auf fesselnde Weise deutlich, ist den Geheimnissen im atomaren wie zugleich im kosmischen Maßstab so nahe auf die Spur gekommen wie er. Ausstattung: zahlreiche Abbildungen
