Beautifully written and illustrated
This graphic novel has a really beautiful narrative to it along with pleasant and thoroughly researched artwork. The book talks about the noted logician Bertrand Russell and his life while also mentioning most of the logicians and mathematicians of that time who shaped mathematics the way it is currently. Overall a pleasant read.

Logicomix: The Philosophy of Logic and Mathematics
A non-fiction book may seem boring, but what if it is presented in the form of a comic? Logicomix is a story of the history of development of logic, recited by Bertrand Russell himself. The major difference (of not seeming like a textbook) makes the book much more enjoyable for a student such as myself.
That is not to say, however, that the book is just a 'comic'. Bertrand Russel describes his journey through logic and philosophy. Even though he was shunned from many books in his early year...

Amazing book
Great study of the personal troubled lives of some of the most famous logicians. The material is in depth and the presentation would be lucid to anyone who has a little knowledge of the subject of logic (FOPC is probably a good baseline). Artwork is good, no real subplots but some subtext is present and colourful.

One of the best books that I have ever read!
The book is a self-referential biographical history of mathematics and logic in the later 19th and early 20th century, with narrative interludes on ancient Greek tragedy. Framed around the life of Bertrand Russell, several contemporary thinkers (Frege, Wittgenstein, Gödel, Schlink, Wallace, von Neumann). It manages to describe incredibly complex concepts in understandable language.
The book is a story within a story within a story, one of them being the story of the creation of the book. The ...
