Overview

In the heart of the European Renaissance, one man dared to look at the heavens in a new way, challenging centuries of conventional wisdom. Nicolaus Copernicus, brilliant Polish astronomer, mathematician and revolutionary thinker, didn't just observe the stars: he dared to imagine a universe completely different from the one handed down from antiquity. This book tells the extraordinary story of an intellectual who, within the walls of a medieval tower in Frombork, conceived one of the greatest scientific revolutions in human history. Through a compelling narrative, we discover the young Nicolaus during his studies in Krakow, follow in his footsteps through Italian universities, and share his nights of celestial observation. The book reveals surprising aspects of his life: his role as an ecclesiastical administrator, doctor and economic reformer, his family relationships and the controversies he faced. With an engaging narrative style, the work reveals the secrets of the composition of De revolutionibus orbium coelestium, the book that changed the world, and the reasons for its publication only in the year of Copernicus' death. A fascinating journey through the European Renaissance, through princely courts and monasteries, wars and plagues, where the search for scientific truth is intertwined with the political and religious dynamics of the time. A story of intellectual courage, dedication to science and tireless search for truth, which continues to inspire humanity after five hundred years.
