Événement

Einstein!

This is NOT the story of the old Einstein with crazy hair with the tongue wagging, but the story of a young, "come hither" Einstein at his peak based on the recent release of 15,000 documents. Until now, no one knew the struggle and the heart it took for Albert Einstein not only to prove general relativity, but the trials he went through to be the father he always wanted to be. It's Berlin 1914, Albert Einstein awaits news from an eclipse expedition that will prove his theory. But Einstein is sent sideways in a world crumbling around him due to The Great War, colleagues stealing his theories, being isolated for pacifist views, a wife who won't give him a divorce, his failing health, a huge backlash against relativity from scientists around the world, antisemitism, his own self destructive genius, and a young son fighting for his father's affections.

Told through humor and heart Jack Fry brings to life one of the most important icons of all time.
