Isaac Newton: Shadows and Light (Audiobook)

Discover the hidden side of the man who reordered the cosmos.

We know Isaac Newton as the pristine father of modern physics. But beneath the legendary veneer lay a secretive, volatile man driven by forces history has long tried to obscure.

Isaac Newton: Shadows and Light takes you beyond textbook equations and into the atmospheric, candlelit rooms of 17th-century England to trace the full, dramatic arc of a monumental genius born from profound isolation.

Inside this 4-hour and 26-minute unabridged audiobook:
