A modern classic, Einstein's Dreams is a fictional collage of
stories dreamed by Albert Einstein in 1905, when he worked in a
patent office in Switzerland. As the defiant but sensitive young
genius is creating his theory of relativity, a new conception of
time, he imagines many possible worlds. In one, time is circular,
so that people are fated to repeat triumphs and failures over and
over. In another, there is a place where time stands still, visited
by lovers and parents clinging to their children. In another, time
is a nightingale, sometimes trapped by a bell jar. Now translated
into thirty languages, Einstein's Dreams has inspired playwrights,
dancers, musicians, and painters all over the world. In poetic
vignettes, it explores the connections between science and art, the
process of creativity, and ultimately the fragility of human
existence.
