«Copérnico» is the historical novel by John Banville, published by Edhasa in hardback (264 pages, in Spanish).
The novel recreates the life of Nicolaus Copernicus and the intellectual climate of the sixteenth century, where scientific curiosity clashes with prejudice and the limits of tolerance. Banville combines reflection and narrative to portray the astronomer as a historical figure and as a man of his time.
First instalment of The Revolutions Trilogy, published as Doctor Copernicus in 1976 and translated by María Eugenia Ciocchini. The novel won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1976.
For readers of historical fiction and literary fiction, especially those interested in the Renaissance and the history of science.
William John Banville is an Irish novelist, adapter of dramas, and screenwriter. A former member of Aosdána, he voluntarily relinquished the financial stipend in 2001 to another, more impoverished, writer.
