Stephen Hawking

The image of the great astrophysicist Stephen Hawking has long become a cult, his name is a synonym for both henality, and courage, and hopes. Once upon a time, the Cambridge student was made a terrible diagnosis-bass-and promised no more than two years of life. The young man rushed to finish the dissertation- suddenly he would have time. And he managed to: make a huge contribution to the study of the riddles of the universe, to be glorified throughout the world with popular science books for adults and children, to become a hero of game and documentary films, to get married twice, to get grandchildren... in the body of a disabled person, deprived of movement and speech, There was an indomitable creature that radiated energy, mind, humor and charm on the whole planet. The American writer Kitty Ferguson has been publishing books for many years and lectures on cosmology for a wide audience. The international fame brought her "talent to translate from the language of physicists into a simple human." She wrote a Hawking biography with approval and with the help of her hero and, in the end, was able to not only recreate his personal story, but also fascinated to tell about his scientific work aimed at comprehending the very foundations of the Universe.
