Albert Einstein (1ère)

Albert Einstein , who was born in Ulm on March 14th 1879 an died in Princeton on April 18th 1955, was certainly the greatest and most famous scientist of the century.

That's why wealthy countries are able to produce enough electricity. His theory about radioactivity is also still use nowadays. All the discoveries are made thanks to his theories...

He lived during the XX century and became famous because of his new idea of art. A lots of his paintings are well known because of their strange forms. As a consequence the price are very high so most of his paintings are today in museum. We find that this person is very interesting to choose because, we always try to become newer and newer. And he had made a lot of travels around the world...

Salmon Rushdie

The world famous writer Salman Rushdie is once again in the mire of the media with his last book Fury, which describes New York City in ruins.

But it is not the first time Salman Rushdie creates a controversy with one of his book...
