ainsi que Voltaire saluait le génie d'un homme dont l'esprit a effectivement révolutionné notre vision du monde. Et pourtant, en ce début de XVIe siècle en Pologne, lorsque Nicolas Copernic exerce ses multiples fonctions d'astronome, de médecin et de chanoine, les ombres sont menaçantes. Les Chevaliers teutoniques livrent leurs derniers combats, les royaumes cherchent de nouvelles alliances, la Réforme commence à fissurer l'Eglise... Au cœur de ces turbulences, Copernic va renverser les théories établies par Ptolémée et Aristote : la Terre n'est plus le centre de l'Univers, mais le Soleil ! Des ruelles de Cracovie aux universités de Bologne et de Florence, des ateliers de Nuremberg aux couloirs du Vatican, des voyages avec Dürer aux intrigues conduites par les Farnèse, ce roman qui mêle avec vivacité la science et l'histoire nous propulse dans une époque de grands changements et nous éclaire sur les débats théologiques et scientifiques de ce temps". -- 4e de couvBrundibar
