The brilliant mind of Stephen Hawking has dazzled the world by unveiling the mysteries of the universe. Now, for the first time, the brightest cosmologist of our era explores, with a revealing look, his own life and intellectual evolution.
Brief History of My Life recounts Stephen Hawking's surprising journey from his childhood in post-war London to his years of international fame. Splendidly illustrated with little-known photographs, this concise, witty, and candid autobiography presents a side of Hawking rarely glimpsed in his previous books: the curious student whose classmates nicknamed him "Einstein"; the prankster who once made a bet with a colleague about black holes; or the young father who struggled to make his place in the academic world.
Written with his characteristic humility and humor, Hawking opens up about the challenges he faced after being diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at the age of 21. He traces his development as a thinker, explains how the prospect of an early death pushed him toward numerous intellectual challenges, and speaks about the genesis of his masterpiece, A Brief History of Time, undoubtedly one of the most important works of the 20th century.
