Logicomix / druk 1

An epic, moving graphic novel set in ancient Athens about the birth and the rise of democracy - from the illustrator behind the bestselling Logicomix

From a team including the artists of the New York Times bestseller Logicomix, another entertaining and educational graphic delight focusing on the origins and rise of democracy. Democracy opens in 490 B.C., with Athens at war. The hero of the story, Leander, is trying to rouse his comrades for the morrow's battle against a far mightier enemy, and begins to recount his own life, having borne direct witness to the evils of the old tyrannical regimes and to the emergence of a new political system. The tale that emerges is one of daring, danger, and big ideas, of the death of the gods and the tortuous birth of democracy. We see that democracy originated through a combination of chance and historical contingency--but also through the cunning, courage, and willful action of a group of remarkably talented and driven individuals. Alecos Papadatos and Annie DiDonna, artists behind the international phenomenon Logicomix, together with writer Abraham Kawa, deliver a graphic novel bursting with extraordinary characters and vibrant color, one that also offers fresh insight into how this greatest of civic inventions came to be.

Apostolos Doxiadis

Una historia gráfica de locura y razón, amor y guerra. En una época de fuertes convulsiones políticas y sociales en Europa, que finalmente desembocarían en la Primera Guerra Mundial, un grupo de pensadores exploraba el campo de la lógica y la filosofía a través de la búsqueda de los fundamentos de las matemáticas. Narrada por su principal protagonista, Bertrand Russell -uno de los grandes filósofos británicos del siglo XX-, esta obra convierte una materia tan árida como las matemáticas en una historia apasionante, una aventura donde confluyen famosos intelectuales de la talla de Frege, Hilbert, Poincaré, Wittgenstein, Gödel y Cantor, personajes que marcaron para siempre nuestra concepción del mundo. La crítica ha dicho... «Logicómix derrocha originalidad; en sus páginas se produce un rico y fascinante encuentro entre los mitos, las matemáticas, el teatro y los gigantes de la filosofía del siglo XX.» Posy Simmonds
