In a remote corner of Poland, a modest canon is practicing medicine and studying the heavens, preparing a theory that will shatter the medieval view of the universe. In this astonishing work of historical imagination, John Banville offers a vivid portrait of a man of painful reticence. For, in a world that is equal parts splendor and barbarism, an obscure cleric who seeks “the secret music of the universe” poses a most devastating threat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A tour de force… Exciting, beautifully written and astonishingly redolent of the late medieval world.\" —The Times\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Landmark Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45056893059312,"sku":"9781335145895","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/1385\/8477\/files\/9781335145895.jpg?v=1747450704","url":"https:\/\/shop.landmarkbooksellers.com\/products\/doctor-copernicus","provider":"Landmark Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
