About this listen

In 16th-century Europe, a discreet and methodical canon observes the sky with modest instruments and extraordinary patience. Nicolaus Copernicus seeks neither scandal nor glory, but an insistent idea accompanies him for decades: perhaps the problem lies not with the planets, but with the point from which we observe. Amid ecclesiastical duties, power networks, educational journeys, and nights of calculation, Copernicus writes against custom and prepares, almost in silence, an intellectual shift that will change the way the universe is understood. This book traces his life and his era: his supports and fears, his lights and shadows, the drama of publication and reception, and the profound legacy of a new way of thinking.
