El sueño de Hipatia

Alexandria, Egypt, 4th century. Christians take control of society leaving aside the sages and philosophers who cultivate and maintain the classical wisdom that made Alexandria a reference of knowledge. In this world, the young Hypatia, a mathematician and astronomer of refined culture, does not hesitate to challenge the Church. Both her tragic death and the silence that fell on her were the high price she had to pay, but not the only one. Egypt, after the Second World War. Some valuable codices more than 1,500 years old are found by chance by some peasants. A journalist, a retired agent of the British secret services and a renowned investigator will look for the links between current events with those that occurred in the time of Hypatia. The value of the codices is not only archaeological. There are those who are willing to murder to get hold of them ... A shocking historical thriller that treats with amenity and rigor one of the most dazzling and forgotten female characters of antiquity. A surprisingly current novel that claims dialogue and tolerance against the fanaticism of those who seek to impose their dogma.
