But while the theatrical challenges are many, there really isn’t enough substance to the script to provide much more than busy-ness. He recounts dreams of cathedrals and lions tales about the bejeweled rich in first class and about the immigrants in steerage catching their first thrilled glimpse of America.Īs the narrator, Frank X, whose talent is wide as well as deep, is kept busy by this monologue stuffed with characters and events.

Where I hoped to find medical and sociocultural history, I got mechanics and mathematics. In exploring these early breakthroughs, Falk reveals the surprising enlightenment of what is generally considered a rather brutal and backward chapter in European history.Īstronomy is not, I confess, a field that particularly interests me, so it is fair to say I was drawn to this book only by misguided expectation. Perhaps for the first time, humanity had the tools to answer big questions about the stars, the universe and our place within a wider cosmos. Despite the long shadow of the Black Plague, this was an era of broadening horizons and international collaboration.
