About the book: 2019 / "- Albert Einstein Speaks.- Who? — a girl’s voice asks again… <…> “Sorry,” the girl responds. - I got the wrong number. <...>“You’re not mistaken,” Albert objects.” And so, with a chance call from 17-year-old Mimi Beaufort to Albert Einstein on his 75th birthday, begins “a truly wonderful novel, masterfully balancing on the line between fact and fiction, a literary pure diamond" (Ian McEwan). A schoolgirl from New Jersey revives the venerable luminary's thirst for life - and he, in turn, reveals his world to her. His biography, like a mirror, reflected the entire history of the 20th century: here is a modest patent attorney from Switzerland, at the age of 26, publishing several works that revolutionized the entire world of science; Here he is giving a Nobel lecture; now he barely has time to escape from Germany, overwhelmed by the brown plague; here he writes a letter to President Roosevelt calling on him to begin large-scale atomic research... “Albert Einstein Speaks” is the story of an amazing friendship and an incredible life. For the first time in Russian.
