Galileo's Daughter

Despre carte

Drawing on the surviving letters of Galileo's eldest daughter, Suor Maria Celeste, a cloistered nun, Dava Sobel tells the story of the scientist who said the Earth moves around the Sun and was tried for it by the Inquisition. A moving account of a father and daughter, and of the tension between faith and scientific conviction at the birth of modern science.
