This is the autobiography of one of the greatest physicists in history: Stephen Hawking. Called My Brief History, this book presents us with a personal view of the life and academic and professional path of one of the most brilliant minds ever.
He surprised me above all by the transparency with which he recounts his life, despite having been eager to learn more about many episodes of his journey. It also includes some chapters where Hawking summarizes his views and theories about black holes, about the space-time relationship, dedicating a chapter to his best-known book, A Brief History of Time, which sold more than 25 million copies worldwide.
I highly recommend this reading, as well as the movie The Theory of Everything, which I saw after reading the book and which summarizes the most important moments of his life. A book whose only problem is to have an end.
