The Watershed: A Biography of Johannes Kepler
October 13, 2019
Hace unos años ofrecí una conferencia sobre Johannes Kepler en la Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana (Medellín, Colombia) y con el objeto de prepararme conseguí este librito en una librería anticuaria de la ciudad. Para mi pesar no alcance a leerlo antes de la mencionada conferencia, aunque sí leí, por supuesto, otras fuentes.

La cultura popular nos ha vendido a Galileo como el "santo de patrono" de la astronomía. En un lugar no menos importante tiene a Nicolás Copérnico, a quién nos pintan como el revolucionario que acabo de un plumazo con la astronomía medieval y nos transporto lejos del centro del Universo.
Nada puede ser menos cierto después de conocer la vida de Kepler a través de sus a veces enrevesados libros, de la innumerable cantidad de hojas que registran su relación epistolar con decenas de personajes de
