When Einstein Met Kafka by Diego Moldes, and translated by Stephen Capsuto, is a sweeping cultural and historical essay that explores the individual contributions of Jews to nearly every field of modern thought and achievement over the past 250 years. Covering science, literature, finance, entertainment and more, the book stands out as a singular, deeply researched tribute to Jewish impact on modernity beyond religious identity. Speaker in-person.
