A Brief History of Time

In A Brief History of Time, physicist Stephen Hawking introduces some of the questions that have shaped modern cosmology: where the universe came from, how space and time behave, and what black holes can reveal about the laws of nature. The book brings together ideas from relativity and quantum theory in an attempt to make these challenging subjects accessible to general readers.

Topics include the Big Bang, the expansion of the universe, black holes, the nature of time and the search for a unified description of physical laws. Hawking explains why these questions matter to scientists and how observations and theoretical models have changed our understanding of the cosmos. The book is not a textbook of calculations; it is an invitation to think about the large-scale structure and origins of the universe.

This English-language paperback edition is published by Bantam Books and is recommended for readers aged fourteen and above. It can appeal to readers with an interest in popular science, astronomy and fundamental questions about existence, whether they are beginning to explore cosmology or returning to a landmark work by one of its best-known modern communicators.
