| Description: |
Tigor is of no fixed abode and his whole concern in life is with numbers. His struggles with his mathematical opponents drives him across Europe as he strives to defend order against chaos - a journey which takes him to Mount Ararat and the remains of Noah's Ark. |
| Synopsis: |
Giacopo Tigor, hero of Peter Stephan Jungk's extraordinary novel, is a professor of mathematics, a proponent of Euclidian geometry reeling from a succession of intellectual defeats sustained at the hands of the advocates of chaos theory. Unable any longer to face the life he has made, he goes AWOL in Europe, first to Paris, where he fulfils a boyhood dream to work in the theatre. But there he also experiences a vision that drives him onward to a greater quest: a journey which takes him to Mount Ararat and beyond, in search of the remains of Noah's Ark. |
