A graphic novel about, of all things, the quest for logic in the early decades of the 20th century:
The story spans the decades from the late 19th century to World War II, a period when the nature of mathematical truth was being furiously debated. The stellar cast, headed up by Bertrand Russell, includes the greatest philosophers, logicians and mathematicians of the era, along with sundry wives and mistresses, plus a couple of homicidal maniacs, an apocryphal barber and Adolf Hitler.
All presented through, it appears, well fleshed-out characters and “presented with real graphic verve”.
