Passionate, provocative and lyrically told, The Sleepwalkers is the remarkable story of how man grew to understand the universe.
Arthur Koestler (1905-1983) was an extraordinary polymath, writer and political polemicist. His most famous works include the novels Darkness at Noon and Arrival and Departure, his autobiographical writings, including Spanish Testament and Scum of the Earth, and his visionary non-fiction, including The Ghost in the Machine, The Case of the Midwife Toad and The Sleepwalkers.
The Sleepwalkers is a valuable and provocative book . . . a work
with a noble aim
*Sunday Times*
The greatest part of this massive work is a close and valuable
study of Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, Kepler, and Galileo . . . He
writes tensely, with passion, as though personally involved, about
events that took place more than 300 years ago
