This beautifully designed book features a significant number of previously unreleased documents and photographs from the Albert Einstein Archives and links them together with short introductions to chapters about Einsteins private life, his scientific achievements and his political activities. The new volume represents a substantially enlarged English edition of a title originally published as a version to supplement the permanent exhibition on Albert Einstein at the Jewish National and University Library. This book is based on a book entitled 'Albert Einstein -- derrière limage', published by the Musée Historique de Berne in 2005.
