<br>
Abstract: A black hole is a region of spacetime where
 gravity is so strong that nothing---not even light---can escape. Black holes arise in nature as the end products of the complete gravitational collapse of sufficiently massive bodies. Theoretical developments during the past 40 years have led to the understanding of a number of remarkable properties of black holes. Most remarkable is the relationship between certain laws applying to black holes and the ordinary laws of thermodynamics, particularly the fact that---due to quantum processes---black holes &quot;emit&quot; thermal radiation. This talk will review some of the key theoretical results on black holes that have been obtained thus far and will discuss some of the issues raised by them.<br>
