description: Einstein’s Dreams became a bestseller by delighting both scientists and humanists. It is technically a novel. Lightman uses simple, lyrical, and literal details to locate Einstein precisely in a place and time–Berne, Switzerland, spring 1905, when he was a patent clerk privately working on his bizarre, unheard-of theory of relativity. The town he perceives is vividly described, but the waking Einstein is a bit player in this drama.
AND I SAY:
I love books that explore time and space and this one is my favorite of all. Each “time concept” or “dream” is intriguing. Although some may border on preposterous, many will make you think and say “hhmmmm”. My favorite one is the dream where time stands still as once approaches the center of time. You’d know why i love this and more if you read the book. 
Its phenomenal, really.
