Milan Popovic is a psychoanalyst who lives and practices in Belgrade.
"Spanning forty years, the letters collected here by Milan Popovic from Mileva Einstein, nee Maric, to her best friend Helene Savic are unusual in their range and frankness. They evoke with unparalleled immediacy the circles of family, colleagues, and friends within which Albert Einstein flourished, even as Mileva and her marriage to Albert foundered. The letters are also a mine of information about the status of European women with intellectual ambitions in this period and make an important contribution to our understanding of the scope and limitations of such ambitions. Popovic invaluably places the letters in a cultural and psychological context. His insights are a function not only of his personal relationship with the recipient of the letters but of his perceptiveness as a practicing psychoanalyst. This is a first-rate book that will appeal to a wide readership."--Robert Schulmann, Editor of the Einstein Papers edition and former Director of the Einstein Papers Project
