520    An innovative, dramatic graphic novel about the 
       treacherous pursuit of the foundations of mathematics.    
       This exceptional graphic novel recounts the spiritual 
       odyssey of philosopher Bertrand Russell. In his agonized 
       search for absolute truth, Russell crosses paths with 
       legendary thinkers like Gottlob Frege, David Hilbert, and 
       Kurt Gödel, and finds a passionate student in the great 
       Ludwig Wittgenstein. But his most ambitious goal--to 
       establish unshakable logical foundations of mathematics--
       continues to loom before him. Through love and hate, peace
       and war, Russell persists in the dogged mission that 
       threatens to claim both his career and his personal 
       happiness, finally driving him to the brink of insanity.  
       This story is at the same time a historical novel and an 
       accessible explication of some of the biggest ideas of 
       mathematics and modern philosophy. With rich 
       characterizations and expressive, atmospheric artwork, the
       book spins the pursuit of these ideas into a highly 
       satisfying tale.     Probing and ingeniously layered, the 
       book throws light on Russell's inner struggles while 
       setting them in the context of the timeless questions he 
       spent his life trying to answer. At its heart, Logicomix 
       is a story about the conflict between an ideal rationality
       and the unchanging, flawed fabric of reality.
