  • "Lou Gherig's disease was all the motivation Stephen Hawking needed to stop slacking off and start exploring the world and the universe with whatever time he had left. Expanded from a lecture, this account reveals Hawking's journey from an undistinguished son to a revolutionary cosmologist. UK, 152pp."

  • "Hawking recounts his improbable journey from postwar London boyhood to his years of international acclaim and celebrity. A witty, and candid account which introduces readers to a Hawking rarely glimpsed in previous books: the inquisitive schoolboy whose classmates nicknamed him Einstein; the young husband and father struggling to gain a foothold in the world of physics and cosmology. Hawking opens up about the challenges that confronted him following his diagnosis of ALS, and explains how the prospect of an early death urged him onward through numerous intellectual breakthroughs."

  • "NATIONAL BESTSELLER Stephen Hawking has dazzled readers worldwide with a string of bestsellers exploring the mysteries of the universe. Now, for the first time, perhaps the most brilliant cosmologist of our age turns his gaze inward for a revealing look at his own life and intellectual evolution. My Brief History recounts Stephen Hawking's improbable journey, from his postwar London boyhood to his years of international acclaim and celebrity. Lavishly illustrated with rarely seen photographs, this concise, witty, and candid account introduces readers to a Hawking rarely glimpsed in previous books: the inquisitive schoolboy whose classmates nicknamed him Einstein; the jokester who once placed a bet with a colleague over the existence of a particular black hole; and the young husband and father struggling to gain a foothold in the world of physics and cosmology. Writing with characteristic humility and humor, Hawking opens up about the challenges that confronted him following his diagnosis of ALS at age twenty-one. Tracing his development as a thinker, he explains how the prospect of an early death urged him onward through numerous intellectual breakthroughs, and talks about the genesis of his masterpiece A Brief History of Time'one of the iconic books of the twentieth century. Clear-eyed, intimate, and wise, My Brief History opens a window for the rest of us into Hawking's personal cosmos."@en
  • "Pour la première fois, l'astrophysicien Stephen Hawking se confie et raconte l'extra-ordinaire aventure de sa vie. Si son oeuvre scientifique est connue grâce au succès planétaire d'Une brève histoire du temps, l'itinéraire de cet esprit unique reste néanmoins mystérieux, occulté par la maladie neurodégénérative qui meurtrit son corps. L'éducation qu'il reçut favorisa-t-elle l'éclosion de son génie ? Quelle fut sa formation intellectuelle dans l'Angleterre d'après-guerre, d'Oxford à Cambridge, où il occupa longtemps la chaire de mathématiques ? Où cet être d'exception a-t-il puisé la force de mener une recherche d'excellence, d'aimer deux femmes avec passion et d'élever ses trois enfants ? Teinté d'une pudeur sensible et d'un humour corrosif, ce livre constitue avant tout un message d'espoir, une leçon de vie d'une grande puissance émotionnelle."

  • "Stephen Hawking is one of the most brilliant cosmologists of our time, and author of the 10 million copy bestselling A Brief History of Time, one of the iconic books of its generation. Now, for the first time, he tells the story of his life in his own words, in a book expanded from a lecture of the same name."@en

  • "Hawking relata su improbable viaje desde la infancia de posguerra de Londres a sus años de fama y celebridad internacional. Un relato ingenioso y sincero que presenta a los lectores a un Hawking rara vez vislumbrado en los libros anteriores: el escolar inquisitivo cuya compañeros le apodaron Einstein; la joven esposo y padre que lucha por hacerse un hueco en el mundo de la fiísica y la cosmología. Hawking habla sobre los retos a los que se enfrentaron a él después de su diagnóstico de ELA, y explica cómo lo instó a la perspectiva de una muerte temprana en adelante a través de numerosos avances intelectuales."
