Biographies perfect for young readers written in the first person, in a simple and fun way. A personal diary with funny illustrations and lively storytelling full of humor.
It is this, the brilliant Archimedes, who tells the story of his life.
The philosopher and engineer, who discovered immortal geometrical theorems and laws upon which the natural sciences were founded.
From his childhood in Syracuse to his first great journey to Egypt and his contact with the library of Alexandria.
From his first discoveries and the famous phrase "Eureka! Eureka!" to his unjust end by the… barbarians.
It was his inventions and war machines that made him a legend. And yet, the last thing Archimedes was interested in was war!
