In the dim light of morning Albert Einstein, the young patent clerk, sprawls in his chair, head down on his desk. For the past several months he has dreamed many dreams about time. His dreams have taken hold of his research. But the dreaming has finished. Out of many possible natures of time, imagined in as many nights, one seems compelling. Somewhere, time can be circular, or flow backwards, or take the form of a nightingale. EINSTEIN'S DREAMS is an enchantment and a literary adventure, one which Salman Rushdie has compared to Italo Calvino's INVISIBLE CITIES and which, more than ever, is in tune with the huge interest in science.
