No other great man in history was as difficult for understanding as Isaac Newton, who had lived a hermit scientist for thirty years in Cambridge, and then became a famous public figure. However, Michael White, Newton"s biographer, managed to “talk” him: White explains the scientist’s ideas and recreates his portrait as convincingly as if he had really told him about himself in a confidential conversation.
With the preface of the popular American writer Bill Brayson, the author of the “Brief History of almost all of the world” and other bestsellers. “Newton was not easy, he was often unpleasant and unfriendly in communication and therefore had very few friends. He always relied entirely on his own judgment, and it was difficult to earn his respect. He would probably reluctantly go to such a conversation that is presented here to your attention, but nevertheless he still wanted other people to know about the unique abilities that he possessed. ” (Michael White)
“A more closed person probably was not on Earth. So we were lucky that we have this book in which Michael White skillfully calls for life this amazing personality and presents us with numerous rash acts and wayward statements by Newton in such a way that they seem almost reasonable and reasonable. Get ready for an unusual test: you have to get acquainted with one of the greatest minds in history. ” (Bill Bryson)
