A Life of Galileo

A Life of Galileo

Work:: A Life of Galileo (S0174673975)

Galileo's astonishing proof that the earth moves around the sun shatters a belief held sacred for two thousand years. Considered an enemy of humanity, he's threatened with torture and faced with a terrible choice: integrity versus intellectual sell-out.
Author Bertolt Brecht
