Artikelbeschreibung
Giordano Bruno, Dominican monk and rationalist philosopher, was burnt at the stake in Rome´s Campo dei Fiori on 17 February 1600. Bruno´s beliefs and writings were considered heretical by the Catholic Church.
Now four hundred years later, Morris West brings us Bruno´s story. Not a chronicle of his life, nor a defence of the opinions which have brought him to his end, but a mosaic of anecdote, allusion, and scraps and shards of memory which together create a sense of what West called the "real Bruno within the man´s skin."
