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.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow translated into thirty languages, \u003ci\u003eEinstein's Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46720672399518,"sku":"ADS-9781780335575","price":23.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781780335575.jpg?v=1776216496","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781780335575","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
