Subtle is the Lord: The Science and the Life of Albert Einstein is a biography of Albert Einstein written by Abraham Pais. First published in 1982 by Oxford University Press, the book is one of the most acclaimed biographies of the scientist.^[4] This was not the first popular biography of Einstein, but it was the first to focus on his scientific research as opposed to his life as a popular figure.^[5] Pais, renowned for his work in theoretical particle physics, was a friend of Einstein's at the Institute for Advanced Study in his early career. Originally published in English in the United States and the United Kingdom, the book has translations in over a dozen languages.^[6] Pais later released a sequel to the book in 1994 titled Einstein Lived Here and, after his death in 2000, the University Press released a posthumous reprint of the biography in 2005, with a new foreword by Roger Penrose. Considered very popular for a science book, the biography sold tens of thousands of copies of both paperback and hardcover versions in its first year.^[7] The book has received many reviews^[7] and, the year after its initial publication, it won both the 1983 National Book Award for Nonfiction, in Science (Hardcover),^[1]^[2]^[4] and the 1983 Science Writing Award.^[3]
