In 1998, a set of letters, written by Albert Einstein, one of history’s most celebrated minds, appeared on the international stage. The letters instantaneously grabbed the headlines from newspapers across the world. Interestingly, the real intrigue was not in the words themselves, but in their recipient: Margarita Konenkova, a Russian woman whose mysterious background hinted at something much more than a mere romantic connection.
For years, the story of these letters, their writer, and their addressee remained mostly unknown to the public. But when these personal communications were auctioned off by Sotheby’s, they revealed a tale that was almost too cinematic to be believed—a love story set against the backdrop of wartime espionage.
