The title confusing and does not represent the contents well.
This graphic novel provides a slightly fictionalized summary of very important events in the history of mathematics through an intellectual bio of Bertram Russel. It does this with style and is surprizingly riveting. It is a fine example of the power of this graphic mdeium.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Graphic novel about philosophy. Way better than you'd think.
A comic describing the life of Bertrand Russell. Marginally fictionalized. Very well done. Exciting. YMMV.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
