"Logicomix," completed after five years of work, is signed by Apostolos Doxiadis, author of the international bestseller "Uncle Petros and Goldbach's Conjecture" - the book described by the "Independent" as "the genesis of the genre of mathematical fiction" - and the renowned computer science theorist, professor at the University of Berkeley, Christos H. Papadimitriou, while the sketches and colors are by Alekos Papadatos and Annie Di Donna, artists of animated films who return to their first love, comics.

The book is both a novel and a comic, history and fiction, fairy tale and essay. A group of friends in modern Athens - who are none other than the creators of the book - tries simultaneously to narrate and understand the great adventure of Logic (the search for the foundations of mathematics), an adventure that has indelibly marked our era. Is it, as one of them says, a tragic story, even of the magnitude of an ancient tragedy? Or, as another believes, a completely optimistic case? In "Logicomix," distances are abolished. Covering a span of six decades, the book narrates in a completely original way the epic story of a quest whose heroes paid a heavy price for knowledge, often reaching madness. The role of the narrator is taken by the most fascinating character of the story, the great mathematician and philosopher Bertrand Russell. Based on his life, we see the story of the search for foundations through the emotional storms, dramatic historical events, and ideological conflicts that nourished it. The adventures of the great thinkers who star in the quest, Frege, Hilbert, Poincaré, Wittgenstein, Gödel, and Turing, come to life through their relationships with Russell and his passionate engagement in the search, leading through their relationship with him to the climax, which coincides with the most dramatic moment in the history of the twentieth century.
