Set in Alexandria in the year 413, this historical novel tells the story of Hypatia, an extraordinary woman ahead of her time who excelled as a philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician. In a city torn apart by political and religious conflicts, her wisdom becomes a double-edged sword against the intolerance and fanaticism of the era.
Charles Kingsley was an English clergyman, social reformer, historian, novelist and poet. A broad church priest of the Church of England, he is particularly associated with Christian socialism, Anti-Catholicism, the working men's college, and forming labour cooperatives, which failed, but encouraged later working reforms. He is known for his novels Yeast (1848), Alton Locke (1850), Hypatia (1853), Westward Ho! (1855), The Water-Babies (1863), and Hereward the Wake (1866).
