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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A tour de force...
