Einstein's Dreams: A Novel

$16.00

This is my go-to gift for any high school or college graduate. It's easy to read and presents the world in many different ways, perfect for encouraging them to think a little outside the box.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER! A modern classic explores the connections between science and art, the process of creativity, and ultimately the fragility of human existence.

“A magical, metaphysical realm ... Captivating, enchanting, delightful.” —
The New York Times

Einstein’s Dreams is a fictional collage of stories dreamed by Albert Einstein in 1905, about time, relativity and physics. As the defiant but sensitive young genius is creating his theory of relativity, a new conception of time, he imagines many possible worlds. In one, time is circular, so that people are fated to repeat triumphs and failures over and over. In another, there is a place where time stands still, visited by lovers and parents clinging to their children. In another, time is a nightingale, sometimes trapped by a bell jar.

Einstein’s Dreams has inspired playwrights, dancers, musicians, and painters all over the world. In poetic vignettes, it explores the connections between science and art, the process of creativity, and ultimately the fragility of human existence.
