On a November night in Egypt, 414 A.D., one of history’s most brilliant individuals was assassinated. Her name was Hypatia, teacher and scientist of the fabled Great Library of Alexandria and the last glimmer of hope before the Dark Ages.

The Roman Empire is crumbling, the fragments of the classical world regrouping in Egypt when Thasos, son of an ill-fated scholar, meets Hypatia of Alexandria. Astronomer, mathematician, and philosopher at a time when women were shunned from learning, Hypatia is a daring visionary in a world about to change forever.
As an insidious power-struggle erupts between church and state Hypatia finds herself at the forefront of battle, but she is not alone. Those who cherish her, who will remember her, become her allies—including the powerful Governor Orestes, who keeps his consuming love for her as secret as she keeps her feelings from him.

Remembering Hypatia is a vivid retelling of a now-forgotten historical tragedy, when courage stood against fear, when the legacy of the wise vanished in the dark. Author Brian Trent resurrects the ancient world’s most famous metropolis and explores the final days, not just of a brilliant mind, but of a lost era…

Brian Trent is a nationally-published journalist, essayist, and novelist. He resides in Connecticut.


About the file
As usual for me, this is a scan, turned into a djvu with extra OCRed hidden text. That text has not been proofread at all. Also, it contains ligatures. Search for, e.g., “finger” with fi as one character.
The file also contains bookmarks to jump to the different chapters.
The cover is looking quite used, (well, it is), but the scans of the main part look better. There may be an a black grain here or there. Take it or leave it.

djvu
To view djvu files, use a viewer listed at DjVu.org.
  • Win/Mac: Get djviewlibre at sourceforge.net.
  • Linux: Install djviewlibre or djview4 through your package manager or get it at sourceforge.net.
  • AndroidOS: While i think it looks a bit odd here and there, EBookDroid works well enough. You will be prompted to download a plugin when you try to open a djvu file for the first time.
  • iPhone/iPad: no idea
  • ebook reader: May support djvu. Try it or RTFM.


As always, if you like it, buy it. Or at least buy the other works by this creator.
