Einstein and the Poet–In search of the Cosmic Man (English Edition)

Professor Hermanns interviewed Einstein in Germany, in Germany before the War, and in America. They explored the nature of the cosmic man, but often discussed the horrors of the Holocaust and the implications of the atomic bomb. These conversations are published for the first time in this book. Having fled Hitler’s regime, with Hitler’s vision to make men automatons rather than followers of Nazism, Eisntein came to America. Here he explored the nature of man and man’s potential to achieve new heights as a human being. In his candid revelations, Einsteins transcends physics and enters into a new sphere of humanism—one humanity. The theme throughout the conversations surrounds the issue of a recurrent anti-Semitism, especially that conducted by the Nazi.
