Hundreds of books, thousands of articles have been written about Albert Einstein. What new can be said about the life and work of the author of the theory of relativity? It turns out that there are facts of his biography described insufficiently fully, and sometimes incorrectly. Take, for example, the history of the exclusion of a scientist from the Prussian Academy of Sciences or Einstein's difficult relationship with another famous physicist - Philip Lenard, who at the end of his life became a convinced Nazi and the father of the racist "German Physics." The work offered to the reader, based on numerous documents, tells how everything really was.
