Synopsis "La Gran Ilusion"

Nadie que se tenga por culto puede ignorar los aportes
científicos de Albert Einstein y Stephen Hawking, dos
redentores del género humano. El profesor Hawking ha
tomado en sus manos la comprometida tarea de seleccionar
y presentar, con su propia opinión científica e intelectual,
aquellos textos específicos que llevaron a Einstein a
ocupar un lugar de honor en la historia de la humanidad.
Desde el texto en el que se revelaba la teoría de la relatividad
hasta los escritos políticos y religiosos de Einstein,
pasando por sus aportes a la física cuántica y a la mecánica
estadística, La gran ilusión nos ofrece todo lo que hay
que saber sobre el mayor científico del siglo XX y, quizá, de
todos los tiempos.

He held, until 2009, the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics once held by Newton at the University of Cambridge, and was awarded the Prince of Asturias Award for Concord in 1989. Universally recognized as one of the greatest theoretical physicists in the world, Professor Hawking has written, despite his severe physical limitations, dozens of articles that together represent a contribution to science that we are still not able to properly assess. His first popular science book, A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes (Critica, 1988) and The Universe in a Nutshell (Critica, 2002), are followed by A Briefer History of Time—written with Leonard Mlodinow—and the anthologies On the Shoulders of Giants: The Great Works of Physics and Astronomy (Critica 2003), the illustrated edition of the latter (Critica 2004), God Created the Numbers: The Mathematical Discoveries that Changed History (Critica 2006) and The Grand Design: The Great Works of Albert Einstein (Critica, 2008)
