Kepler

The biographical novel "Kepler" is about the famed 17th century German Astronomer and mathematician, Johannes Kepler. Kepler was a key figure in the 17th-century Scientific Revolution, best known for his laws of planetary motion, and his books Astronomia nova, Harmonice Mundi, and Epitome Astronomiae Copernicanae. These works also provided one of the foundations for Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation.
