«Hypatia. La mujer que amó la ciencia» is the novel by Pedro Gálvez, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (256 pages, in Spanish).
The novel is set in fourth-century Alexandria, when the city is still a bastion of ancient world traditions: there, Hypatia shines as a teacher of mathematics and sciences. The advance of Christianity clashes with that worldview and ends up pushing the thinker to leave her books to settle her fate in the public square.
Edition with illustrated dust jacket; includes final bibliography (pages 251-256). The work was originally published in 2004.
For readers of literary fiction or biographies who want to approach the figure of Hypatia and the end of the classical world.
