This biographical work by Henriette Chardak immerses us in early 17th-century Prague, a time of transition where science and faith were deeply intertwined. Through a rich and detailed narrative, we follow the life of Johannes Kepler, the first astrophysicist and science fiction author of his time, who, under the tutelage of the great Tycho Brahe, revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos by demonstrating that the movement of celestial bodies is elliptical.
The book is the second volume in the "Les rêveurs du ciel" series and masterfully portrays the court of Rudolf II of Habsburg, a center for arts and sciences. It is an essential read for those seeking to understand how Kepler's genius paved the way for Newton and space exploration, all set within a vibrant and colorful historical context.
