In 'The Dream of Hypatia,' José Calvo Poyato transports us to 4th century Egypt, where Christians are taking control, eclipsing the wise men and philosophers of Alexandria. Hypatia, a mathematician and astronomer, becomes a key figure in the defense of classical culture, challenging an increasingly powerful Church. In post-World War II Egypt, the discovery of ancient codices unleashes a dangerous quest, connecting the present with Hypatia's past. This historical novel vindicates reason and tolerance in the face of fanaticism, exploring the life of one of the most dazzling and forgotten figures in history.
