BRIAN TRENT TO SIGN COPIES OF “REMEMBERING HYPATIA” APRIL 16
Meriden Public Library will host a special appearance by Connecticut author Brian Trent, author of REMEMBERING HYPATIA, in celebration of National Library Week, which is April 15-21. Trent will read from his novel, then autograph copies for the audience on Monday, April 16 at 7:00 p.m.; light refreshments will be served.
On a November night in Egypt, 414 A.D., one of history’s most brilliant individuals was assassinated. Her name was Hypatia, teacher and scientist of the fabled Great Library of Alexandria and the last glimmer of hope before the Dark Ages.
The Roman Empire is crumbling, the fragments of the classical world regrouping in Egypt when Thasos, son of an ill-fated scholar, meets Hypatia of Alexandria, astronomer, mathematician, and philosopher at a time when women were shunned from learning. Hypatia is a daring visionary in a world about to change forever.
As an insidious power-struggle erupts between church and state Hypatia finds herself at the forefront of battle, but she is not alone. Those who cherish her, who will remember her become her allies—including the powerful Governor Orestes, who keeps his consuming love for her as secret as she keeps her feeling from him.
REMEMBERING HYPATIA is a vivid retelling of a now-forgotten historical tragedy, when courage stood against fear, when the legacy of the wise vanished in the dark. Author Brian Trent resurrects the ancient world’s most famous metropolis and explores the final days not just of a brilliant mind, but of a lost era.
Brian Trent is a writer of many interests and parts, with his very first story published when he was just fifteen. He has since become a respected socio-political essayist, a poet, playwright, journalist and historical novelist. In 2004, Trent had major essays published in three consecutive issues of The Humanist magazine, the prestigious national forum. His article “The Future of Immortality” appeared as the cover story for the May/June issue. An exploration into ongoing longevity research, his study examined the philosophical and social consequences of a future where aging has become optional. The article has been a centerpiece for online debate ever since. This was followed by “A Greatness Reborn,” a comparison of the Great Library of ancient Alexandria with its modern-day reincarnation (Egypt’s Bibliotheca Alexandrina unveiled in 2001.) In the subsequent issue, Trent tackled
