To the majority of people Einstein's theory is a complete mystery.
Their attitude towards Einstein is like that of Mark Twain towards
the writer of a work on mathematics: here was a man who had written
an entire book of which Mark could not understand a single
sentence. Einstein, therefore, is great in the public eye partly
because he has made revolutionary discoveries which cannot be
translated into the common tongue. We stand in proper awe of a man
whose thoughts move on heights far beyond our range, whose
achievements can be measured only by the few who are able to follow
his reasoning and challenge his conclusions. There is, however,
another side to his personality. It is revealed in the addresses,
letters, and occasional writings brought together in this book.
These fragments form a mosaic portrait of Einstein the man. Each
one is, in a sense, complete in itself; it presents his views on
some aspect of progress, education, peace, war, liberty, or other
problems of universal interest. Their combined effect is to
demonstrate that the Einstein we can all understand is no less
great than the Einstein we take on trust.
