Description
Einstein, Albert. Typed letter signed ("A. Einstein"), in German, 1 page (7.5 x 9.5 in.; 191 x 241 mm.), no place, 6 January 1955, to Benjamin Subercaseaux. Usual horizontal folds. Einstein writes this note to Chilean author Benjamin Subercaseaux, thanking him for sending a copy of his book Jemmy Button, stating that the lessons offered in the novel are more powerful than all the sermons in the world combined. Subercaseaux's novel is a fictionalized account of the abduction of four Tierra del Fuego natives by the British Captain of the H.M.S. Beagle, their sojourn in England, and return to their native land. Einstein wrote this letter just three months prior to his death on 18 April 1955.Auction Info
