Doctor Copernicus - Revolutions Trilogy
Doctor Copernicus - Revolutions Trilogy

Evocative portrait of a revolutionary astronomer's life.

"Doctor Copernicus" isn't just about the stars and planets; it delves deep into the soul of the man who rearranged our cosmic perspective. If you enjoy historical fiction infused with rich, lyrical prose, Banville's talent for blending scientific breakthrough with personal struggle will make you see both Copernicus and his epoch in a profound new light. This book appeals to those who appreciate the human conflicts underpinning monumental discoveries.

Description

The work of Nicholas Koppernigk, better known as Copernicus, shattered the medieval view of the universe and led to the formulation of the image of the solar system we know today. Here his life is powerfully evoked in a novel that offers a vivid portrait of a man of painful reticence, haunted by a malevolent brother and baffled by the conspiracies that rage around him and his ideas while he searches for the secret of life.
