From the artist behind the critically acclaimed, award-winning, New York Times #1 bestselling graphic novel Logicomix comes a graphic novel about the life and legacy of Aristotle, the polymath who became one of the founding figures of modern thought
Little is known about the early life of Aristotle, who stands as a cultural cornerstone of modern thought and scholarship. Alecos Papadatos, the artist behind the critically acclaimed, award-winning, bestselling graphic novel Logicomix, and Tassos Apostolidis, an author and teacher, team up to bring his story to life, following the trail of clues to paint a picture of the great man and his philosophy. The son of a renowned Macedonian physician, Aristotle pursues his studies in Athens and becomes one of Plato's favorite disciples. A great scholar, he even serves as Alexander the Great, Ptolemy, and Cassander's personal tutor. For many, that would be the high point of their career, but Aristotle goes on to found his own school, the Lyceum. There, he transmits his knowledge and passion to any student wishing to embark on an intellectual and philosophical journey. Most of his works that have endured to this day are from this crucial time, thought to be lecture aids for his students. The fact that these were not likely intended for publication and yet have had such an astounding influence on every school of Western thought speaks to the monumental legacy that Papadatos and Apostolidis carefully reconstruct in this compelling and informative graphic novel.Alecos Papadatos was born in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1959. After pursuing economics studies in his home country, he moved to France, where he changed career directions entirely in order to devote himself to animation. In 1990, he moved back to Greece with his wife and collaborator, Annie Di Donna, where they founded the production studio Spicy Toons, active throughout Europe. In 2003, he began work on the Logicomix graphic novel, published initially in 2008 by Bloomsbury. Following the great success of that project, he published Democracy, also with Bloomsbury, in 2015. His work is internationally acclaimed, and he hosts workshops and masterclasses in Greece, Turkey, Poland, France, and the United Kingdom. Tassos Apostolidis was born in 1947 in Thessaloniki, Greece, where he studied mathematics. Aided by over 40 years of experience teaching high school, he has written many accessible and engaging books and graphic novels based on works of classical Greek literature by figures such as Aristophanes, Homer, Sophocles, Euripides, and Aesop. He also writes plays, newspaper columns and humor pieces, and stand-up comedy shows. Apostolidis is a member of several writers' organizations and regularly hosts workshops, classes, and conferences on subjects such as drawing, caricature, and comics.
