His name today is shorthand for genius. But Albert Einstein was also a refugee, a rebel, a Casanova, a pacifist and a high school dropout.

In his unique biography Einstein In Time And Space, TLS science editor Samuel Graydon brings one of the last century’s most iconic and influential figures back to life, from escaping the Nazis and his lost daughter, to declining the presidency of Israel and attempting to cheer up his parrot by telling jokes.

An event from Jewish Book Week 2024
