And Yet It Moves: Galileo and the Price of Genius

More about the book

The story of an intellectual superhero. His name is synonymous with genius, yet behind the brilliance is a tragic love story, one of a family destroyed and restored - an untold tale of art, beauty, suffering, and eventual triumph. As relevant in the era of COVID-19 as it was during the Rennaissance, this relatable dramatization of the life and trials of Galileo is one of science and reason versus superstition and politics. From his precocious beginnings to his meteoric rise and fall to his special relationship with the poet, John Milton, the story of Galileo is an affirmation of the human spirit that still burns as indomitably as the stars.
