No other great man in history has been as difficult to understand as Isaac Newton, who lived as a reclusive scientist in Cambridge for thirty years and then became a famous public figure. However, Michael White, Newton’s biographer, managed to “talk” him: White explains the scientist’s ideas and recreates his portrait as convincingly as if he had actually told him about himself in a confidential conversation. With a foreword by the popular American writer Bill Bryson, author of “A Brief History of Almost everything in the world" and other bestsellers. * * *

"Newton had a difficult character, he was often unpleasant and unfriendly in communication and therefore had very few friends. He always relied entirely on his own judgment, and it was difficult to earn his respect. He would probably have been reluctant to engage in the kind of conversation that is presented here to your attention, but nevertheless he still wanted other people to know about the unique abilities that he possessed. "(Michael White)

“There probably wasn’t a more closed person on Earth. So we are lucky to have this book, in which Michael White skillfully brings to life this amazing figure and presents Newton's many rash actions and capricious utterances in a way that makes them seem almost reasonable and reasonable. Prepare for an extraordinary challenge as you meet one of the greatest minds in history.” (Bill Bryson)
