Her name was Hypatia, teacher and scientist of the fabled Great Library of Alexandria and the last glimmer of hope before the Dark Ages.</i> The Roman Empire is crumbling, the fragments of the classical world regrouping in Egypt when Thasos, son of an ill-fated scholar, meets Hypatia of Alexandria. Astronomer, mathematician, and philosopher at a time when women were shunned from learning, Hypatia is a daring visionary in a world about to change forever. As an insidious power-struggle erupts between church and state Hypatia finds herself at the forefront of battle, but she is not alone. Those who cherish her, who will remember her, become her allies - including the powerful Governor Orestes, who keeps his consuming love for her as secret as she keeps her feelings from him. <I>Remembering Hypatia</I> is a vivid retelling of a now-forgotten historical tragedy, when courage stood against fear, when the legacy of the wise vanished in the dark. Author Brian Trent resurrects the ancient world's most famous metropolis and explores the final days, not just of a brilliant mind, but of a lost era... 783633 23 2 2005 Remembering Hypatia: A Novel of Ancient Egypt total:8|5:1|4:3|3:3|1:1| 8 27 33 2 3 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 03 08:27:38 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 14 08:00:43 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 21 20:26:38 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 21 20:57:35 -0800 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sat Nov 14 16:15:55 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 16:15:55 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 17 09:49:49 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 09:49:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 28 17:34:15 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 17:34:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 05 17:52:26 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 17:52:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 25 15:33:43 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 15:35:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jun 28 13:44:25 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 13:44:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 25 17:51:09 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 17:51:09 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 05 14:20:03 -0700 2009 Tue May 05 14:20:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 08 13:32:46 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 08 13:32:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 03 00:49:23 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 03 00:49:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 01 08:41:03 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 08:41:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Mar 29 12:13:49 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 12:13:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Mar 25 10:26:21 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 10:26:53 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Mar 25 05:22:56 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 05:22:56 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Mar 14 16:57:14 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 23 06:59:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Feb 23 14:30:21 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 14:30:21 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Feb 02 06:23:35 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 06:23:35 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 22 09:34:50 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 09:35:03 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=797667
