«El tío Petros y la conjetura de Goldbach» is the contemporary fiction novel by Apostolos Doxiadis, published by Punto De Lectura in paperback.
An elderly retired mathematician, Petros Papachristos, lives between his garden and chess. His nephew discovers that he devoted his life to the Goldbach conjecture, a challenge of simple appearance that had remained unsolved for two centuries. The story turns that obsession into a parable about the human drive to achieve the impossible.
Originally published in Greek in 1992 as «Ο θείος Πέτρος και η Εικασία του Γκόλντμπαχ»; Spanish translation by María Eugenia Ciocchini Suárez.
For readers of contemporary fiction seeking stories where mathematics becomes a metaphor for effort and vocation.
