Once a wealthy landowner, how did he become an immigrant scratching a living in France?Naima's father, Hamid, says he remembers nothing.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Banville is superb . . . there are not many historical novels of which it can be said that they illuminate both the time that forms their subject matter and the time in which they are read: Doctor Copernicus is among the very best of them The EconomistThe first in John Banville Revolutions Trilogy and winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, Doctor Copernicus is a rich historical novel that explores the life of one of history's greatest scientists.
