Description
Athens, 1929. A murder sets off a chain of events that takes us back to the summer of 1900, when two young men first met in a crowded lecture hall at the Sorbonne University. Their friendship was forged during the Second International Congress of Mathematics, an event that would shape 20th century mathematical research. But as we delve into their story, we begin to wonder: could the solution to a mathematical problem inspire such passion and intensity that it drives someone to murder? This historical work of fiction takes us behind the scenes of academia and into the vibrant world of early 20th century France, Germany, and Greece, where famous figures like Bertrand Russell and Henri Poincaré rubbed shoulders with artists and intellectuals.
