Résumé

In the late fourth century, the great city of Alexandria stands at a crossroads, a vibrant hub of knowledge facing the rising tide of religious and political conflict. At the heart of this changing world is Hypatia, a brilliant mathematician, philosopher, and public intellectual. As the head of a prestigious school, she is a beacon of intellectual freedom, teaching students of all faiths and advising the city's Roman Prefect.
But in an era of growing fanaticism, her independence and influence become a threat. She is caught in a brutal power struggle, and her tragic fate at the hands of a mob becomes a poignant symbol of a world losing its intellectual soul. This book peels back centuries of myth and legend to reveal the real woman behind the icon, exploring her life, her work, and why her story still matters today as a powerful reminder of the timeless struggle for tolerance and reason.165 pages, 34100 word count
