The image of the great astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, has long become a cult, his name is synonymous with and ge-niality, and courage, and hope. A Cambridge student was once diagnosed with ALS and promised no more than two years of life. The young man rushed to finish the dissertation - suddenly he had time. And he managed to make a huge contribution to the study of the mysteries of the universe, to spread the world of non-fiction books for adults and children, to become a hero of game and documentaries, to marry twice, to get grandchildren ... In the body of a disabled person, devoid of movement and speech, lived an indomitable creature, on the whole planet radiating energy, intelligence, humor and charm. American writer Kitty Ferguson has been publishing books and lecturing about cosmology for a wide audience for many years. International fame brought her "the talent to translate from the language of physicists to the simple human." She wrote Hawking's biography with approval and with the help of her hero, and in the end was able not only to recreate his personal story, but also to tell about his scientific work, aimed at understanding the very foundations of the universe.
