| Plot Summary of Einstein's Dreams |
|---|
"This fictional account of young Albert Einstein and his dreams is mysterious and thoughtful. Thirty dreams become thirty fables, each approaching time and space differently. In the story, Einstein is finishing his special theory of relativity. In his dreams, he explores the nature of time as influenced by his research and the goings-on in his daily life."
Jessica Marler, Resident Scholar
