«Copérnico» is the historical novel by John Banville, published by Editora y Distribuidora Hispano Americana, S.A. in hardback (264 pages, in Spanish).
The novel reconstructs the life of Nicolaus Copernicus and the tension between science and dogma in the sixteenth century: his education, his doubts, and his defence of the heliocentric theory. Banville turns the portrait of the astronomer into a reflection on knowledge, faith, and the personal cost of questioning the beliefs of his time.
«Copérnico» is the first part of The Revolutions Trilogy by John Banville and belongs to the Narrativas Históricas collection. Translation by María Eugenia Ciocchini.
For readers of historical fiction and literary portraits of scientific figures.
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.
