![]() ![]() ![]() Naperville, IL: Sourcebooks, 2016.īergmann, Ina. ![]() ![]() Ultimately, the deliberate if fictional “misrepresentation” of history runs the risk of lastingly damaging both Marić’s and Einstein’s cultural afterlives. As I will show, while apparently driven by the feminist desire to reveal Marić’s own intellectual brilliance and scientific productivity, Benedict’s fictional exploration of the “Mileva Story” in The Other Einstein serves mainly one purpose, which is to foster the tragic victim narrative that she creates about this female figure in the history of science. Shedding a critical feminist perspective on Marić’s version of the female scientist’s life story, the chapter illuminates the author’s decision to use her artistic liberties as a novelist to explore in fiction what has become a widely held yet speculative and controversial assumption about the historical figure of Marić, namely that she was Einstein’s scientific assistant and collaborator as well as the true originator of the special theory of relativity and that she, like many women in the history of science, was cheated out of recognition by her spouse. This chapter examines Marie Benedict’s fictional recreation of the life of the Serbian mathematician, physicist, and first wife of Albert Einstein, Mileva Marić, in the biographical novel The Other Einstein (2016). ![]() ![]() The story is constructed in multiple layers of depth, from the underworld to the upper world, for each seeker to fathom the different qualities of gems in the ocean. ![]() Each question evokes a sensation of discovery and enlightenment about the state of mind, and its manifestations in the world, leading to the incredible breakthrough of the man who dares to ask.

He personally conceived and completed public works costing 27 billion dollars-the greatest builder America (and probably the world) has ever known. Moses built an empire and lived like an emperor. ![]() In revealing how Moses did it-how he developed his public authorities into a political machine that was virtually a fourth branch of government, one that could bring to their knees Governors and Mayors (from La Guardia to Lindsay) by mobilizing banks, contractors, labor unions, insurance firms, even the press and the Church, into an irresistible economic force-Robert Caro reveals how power works in all the cities of the United States. One of the most acclaimed books of our time, winner of both the Pulitzer and the Francis Parkman prizes, The Power Broker tells the hidden story behind the shaping (and mis-shaping) of twentieth-century New York (city and state) and makes public what few have known: that Robert Moses was, for almost half a century, the single most powerful man of our time in New York, the shaper not only of the city's politics but of its physical structure and the problems of urban decline that plague us today. ![]() ![]() ![]() He also adapted plays by Calderon, Lope de Vega, Dino Buzzati, and Faulkner's Requiem for a Nun.

Of semi-proletarian parents, early attached to intellectual circles of strongly revolutionary tendencies, with a deep interest in philosophy (only chance prevented him from pursuing a university career in that field), he came to France at the age of twenty-five.

McCracken, who edits Ann Patchett’s novels, was a finalist for the National Book Award in 1996 and has earned some smaller plaudits for her work since then, but this was the first time I’d encountered her. I’d never even heard of Elizabeth McCracken until my friend Eden suggested to me at Gen Con that I check out McCracken’s newest novel Bowlaway. ![]() |
