Christian, Hannes Alfven is not involved in string theory. I was just using his name as a reference to show where his contributions in one area did not neccesarily carry respect in another.

I will give you another name. Brian Greene. His book "The Elegant Universe" should be understandable to you. It covers the starts and stops of string theory. Between that book and A Dim's link, you should have a pretty good idea, at the layman level, for string theory.
