His face is instantly recognisable. His name is shorthand for genius.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It pleasantly surprised me with its easy readability while offering valuable insights that paint a more comprehensive picture of the remarkable man, Albert Einstein. Discovering his kindness towards those around him, coupled with his righteous and liberal nature, was truly enlightening. Einstein's brilliance extends far beyond the realms of Physics and the scientific field; his unique perspective on the world sets him miles apart from the crowd. Naturally, like any person, he has his flaws. In essence, this book presents a captivating kaleidoscope of Einstein's life, making it a fantastic read. (
