. Michael Maar has taught at Stanford University and is a member of two German academies. A leading literary critic, he now lives in BerlinThis not only is presented as a dynamic underlying Mann’s creative work, but also is the supposed reason for the theme of guilt and redemption that grew ever stronger in Mann’s fiction, and for his panic in 1933 that his early diaries would fall into the hands of the Nazis. Michael Maar mounts a devastating forensic challenge to this consensus: Mann was remarkably open about his sexual orientation, which he saw as no reason for guilt. Maar pursues this trail through Mann’s writings and traces its origins back to Mann’s second visit to Italy, during which the Devil appeared to him in Palestrina. But sexuality in Mann’s work is inextricably bound up with an eruption of violence. Something happened to the twenty-one-year-old Thomas Mann in Naples that marked him for life with a burdensome sense of guiltbut what exactly was it?. Over the last twenty years, much critical discussion of Thomas Mann has highlighted his homosexualityBut as a biography of one of the world's greatest physicists--with a valuable premise that even a genius like Einstein could unintentionally limit his own insights and imagination by being unaware of his own biases and preconceived ideas--I feel it is very successful and thought-provoking. Later evidence showed that lambda was unnecessary, and Einstein reverted to his original equation. Part 1 summarizes U-boat operations during the First World War and the interwar period.Part 2 describes the various types of U-boats, from the early Type IA to the advanced Type XXI and XXVI, which served as the basis for several postwar US and Soviet submarine designs. Instead of recounting minute details of Einstein's childhood and daily life, it focuses on the well-documented thought processes that produced Einstein's major discoveries (e.g., the General Theory of Relativity (G=T)); and on what was happening in Einstein's life at those times.The book has the clearest step-by-step layman's explanations of Einstein's theories that I've ever come across. He also sheds more light on Jung's relations“Germany’s most gifted literary critic of the younger generation.”—London Review of Books
