Abrams ComicArts is announcing Aristotle: A Graphic Biography! Not a lot is known of the early life of Aristotle, the polymath whose life work now serves as the cultural cornerstone of modern philosophy. Award-winning artist Alecos Papadatos (Logicomix) and writer Tassos Apostolidis have come together to follow a long line of clues to bring the great man and his philosophy to life.
Read details from the publisher:
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.
Almost all of Aristotle’s works that have endured are known to be lecture aids to his many students. The fact that many of these have had such an impact on every school of western thought even though it was never meant to be published only adds to Aristotle legacy. Papadatos and Apostolidis have dedicate their passion and care to faithfully reconstruct his life in an illuminating graphic novel.
The novel has been published in France, Belgium, Greece, Germany, Portugal, China, Turkey, South Korea and now Abrams ComicArts will publish the 216 hardcover in your local bookstores Tuesday, October 8, 2024 and in comic shops October, 9 2024.
