Arthur Stanley Eddington (1882–1944), the eminent British astrophysicist, mathematician, and one of the foremost popularizers of relativity in the English-speaking world, wrote this book as a clear, non-mathematical exposition of Einstein’s theories. Originally published in 1920 (and expanded in later editions), it explains special relativity (1905), general relativity (1915), spacetime curvature, the equivalence principle, gravitational redshift, light deflection by gravity, and cosmological implications, drawing on Eddington’s own 1919 solar eclipse expedition that provided the first experimental confirmation of general relativity (deflection of starlight by the Sun).
This 1934 Leningrad-Moscow edition is one of the earliest and most influential Russian translations of Eddington’s work on relativity. The translation was carried out by a team of Soviet physicists: Lev Efimovich Gurevich, Iosif Yulievich Nelidov, and Vladimir Vasilievich Solodovnikov, under the editorial supervision of Dmitri Dmitrievich Ivanenko (1904–1964), a brilliant theoretical physicist, co-founder of the proton-neutron model of the atomic nucleus, and a leading Soviet expert on relativity and quantum field theory. Ivanenko’s editorial notes and additions likely incorporated recent Soviet developments in relativistic physics and cosmology, making the book a bridge between Western and emerging Soviet relativity research during the 1930s.
