Nothing The Sun Could Not Explain

In an ongoing series of major world poetries (From the Other Side of the Century was the first), this anthology of new Brazilian poetry represents some of the more exciting writing being done in Brazil and South America.

The essays in Copernirus and his Successors deal both with the influences on Copernicus, including that of Greek and Arabic thinkers, and with his own life and attitudes. They also examine how he was seen by contemporaries and finally describe his relationship to other scientists, including Galileo, Brahe and Kepler.

Reprint of the original, first published in 1869.
