Logicomix: An Epic Search for Truth is an intriguing graphic novel about the foundational quest in mathematics. Summary of the Book This novel is set between the late 19th century and the present-day. It entwines the philosophical struggles with the characters’ own personal, inner conflicts. The story is narrated by Bertrand Russell, who was not just a philosopher and pacifist, but a prominent figure in the foundational quest.
