The Silence of the Galileo (Community translated English edition)

For more than four hundred years the paternity of the telescope, the instrument that transformed our view of the universe, has been in dispute. Did the Italian Galileo Galilei invent it? The German Hans Lippershey? Or the Dutch Zacarías Janssen and Jacobo Metius?

An alleged descendant of Galileo entrusts Dr. Ysabeau de Vassy, ​​a history professor at the Sorbonne in Paris, with the urgent task of resolving this historical controversy. After a long adventure that takes her to several European countries, the professor makes a series of discoveries that forever change the history of Western science.

In "The Silence of Galileo", the new and exciting novel by Luis López Nieves, its author once again brings to life several endearing characters from "The Heart of Voltaire". Conceived in the tradition of great series of novels such as "The Human Comedy" by Honoré de Balzac and "The Rougon-Macquart" by Émile Zola, this work by López Nieves returns to the fascinating cybernetic-epistolary world in which its characters inhabit.
