Gallileor Chokh by Jean Pierre Luminet [Hardcover]

"Four hundred years ago, a new era in science began with Johannes Kepler’s discovery of the orbit of Mars. On August 21, 1609, another groundbreaking event took place. Galileo Galilei demonstrated the remarkable power of his sky-gazing telescope to the world. All of Europe was astonished, but even he had to wait for the recognition of the genius Kepler, who was known as 'Galileo’s Eye.' In the third part of the French ‘Nouveau Roma’ series of novels, The Maker of the Sky, the renowned astronomer Jean-Pierre Lumine has beautifully woven together the intertwined events and accidents in the lives of these two scientists to create this unparalleled literary masterpiece, Galileo’s Eye."
