Fuga dalla meraviglia. La geniale vita di Albert Einstein tra violini, bussole e calzini

Fuga dalla meraviglia. La geniale vita di Albert Einstein tra violini, bussole e calzini

This book will not turn you into geniuses! Nor will it tell you the fairy tale that geniuses are not born but made. Ah! And it is not even a classic biography, a science book or a boring collection of anecdotes. This book is an attempt to get inside the head and heart of Albert Einstein. Much has already been said about him (some true, some not!), but what Einstein can still show us is how to learn to think for the pleasure of doing so, to joke, to be rebellious, to laze around, to not wear socks, to make peace, to stick out your tongue, to think outside the box, to admit when you’re wrong and to always give the impossible a chance. A very unkempt portrait of a life lived not only in the name of intelligence, but also of irony, boundless imagination and opposition to any order and prejudice. The story of a man who retained one great ability until the end: the ability to be amazed. Because wonder is nothing more than a question waiting to be answered. Recommended reading age: 10 years and up.
