Kepler

Narrative art at a positively symphonic level. * Guardian *
One knows one is in the presence of a writer extraordinary. Wearing his vast research lightly, Mr Banville not only summons Kepler and his company of vivid souls but leads us into the small dark rooms. * Sunday Telegraph *
This very distinguished novel … is done with very considerable skill; it suggests that this is what such a life must indeed have been like and the result is a wonderfully human figure, rife with feelings, principles, regrets and courage. * Sunday Times *
An outstandingly good novel … a novel that dramatizes and celebrates intellectual passion. Which makes it a very rare novel indeed. * Irish Press *
Superbly illuminates the man, the time, and the everlasting quest for knowledge * The Observer *
