Un absorbente y entretenido recorrido por la vida y obra de Albert Einstein.
Albert Einstein es un modelo universal de la inteligencia, la humanidad y la imaginación. Sin embargo, su obra ha permanecido distante para el público general.
En Einstein para perplejos, José Edelstein y Andrés Gomberoff buscan revertir esta situación. Para ello abordan el contexto histórico e intelectual en el que se originaron las ideas de Einstein y también el legado que dejó tras su muerte, mostrándonos en su tiempo y en el nuestro a un científico que, entre otras teorías, predijo hace cien años la existencia de ondas gravitacionales que recientemente han revolucionado a la astronomía.
Este contundente libro sobre el premio Nobel nos instruye y divierte con un planteamiento para cualquier lector interesado en su pensamiento pues, como afirman los autores, «hablar de él es hablar de la humanidad que hay en la ciencia, idioma universal de los seres humanos».
