"Logicomix", completed after five years of work, is signed by Apostolos Doxiadis, author of the international best-seller "Uncle Petros and Goldbach's Conjecture" - a book characterized by "Independent" as "the birth of the genre of mathematical literature" - and the renowned computer science theorist, professor at the University of Berkeley, Christos H. Papadimitriou, while the sketches and color are by Alekos Papadatos and Annie Di Donna, artists of animation who return to their first love, comics.

The book is a novel and comics, 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 indelibly marked our era. Is it, as one of them says, a tragic story, of a size even of an ancient tragedy? Or, as another believes, a completely optimistic case? In "Logicomix", distances are abolished. Covering a duration of six decades, the book tells in a completely original way the epic story of a search, most of whose heroes paid a heavy price for knowledge, often reaching madness. The role of the narrator is played by the most fascinating character of the story, the great mathematician and philosopher Bertrand Russell. Based on his own life, we see the story of the search for the foundations through the emotional storms, the dramatic historical events, and the ideological conflicts that nurtured it. The adventures of the great thinkers who star in the search, Frege, Hilbert, Poincaré, Wittgenstein, Gödel, and Turing, come to life through their relationships with Russell and his own passionate engagement in the search, and are driven through their relationship with him to the climax, which coincides with the most dramatic moment in the history of the twentieth century.
