Recensione:
Impressive ... Simultaneously a standout historical examination and a compelling story (Booklist)
It's fun, it's heartbreaking, it's thought-provoking, and it's tragic - and it's absolutely one of the greatest graphic novels I expect to read all year (i09)
A colorful love letter to Greek history (Kirkus)
Probably the best and certainly the most extraordinary graphic novel I have ever come across (Bryan Appleyard, Sunday Times on LOGICOMIX)
Logicomix is highly original, a rich and enthralling encounter with myth, maths, theatre and the giants of twentieth-century philosophy (Posy Simmonds on LOGICOMIX)
An extraordinary piece of work... Its great subject is the historical desire to make the world totally understandable by reason, and it itches us inside the debate (John Walsh, Independent on LOGICOMIX)
