Albert Through the Looking-Glass - The Personal Papers of Albert Einstein

This book offers a unique glimpse into the life and work of Albert EINSTEIN, one of the most prominent and influential figures of the modern era. Based on a selection of fascinating documents and photographs from his personal papers, it provides a kaleidoscope -a looking glass- through which to perceive this great scientist, humanist and Jew. Many items are published for the first time.
EINSTEIN's papers reflect the complexity of his character and the exceptional quality of his genius. The repository of these papers is the Albert EINSTEIN Archives, housed at the Jewish National & Universitary Library of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. EINSTEIN was one of the founders of the Hebrew University. His special relationship to this institution found a lasting expression in the bequest of his literary estate and personal papers to the university in his last will and testament.
