Part 1. The Early Years by Alecos Papadatos, Tassos Apostolidis
informative
medium-paced
3.0
Thank you to Netgalley, Europe Comics, and the authors (Tasso Apostolidis) and illustrator (Alexis Papadatos) for a copy of this book! All opinions are my own.
Aristotle is a graphic novel biography that highlights Aristotle’s life through experiences and the people close to him. Told from the point of view of Theophrastus, Aristotle’s student, close friend, and successor, this novel highlights how Aristotle became a well-known philosopher.
I picked this up because I enjoy reading ancient history and texts. The graphic novel format made the narrative about Aristotle’s life all the more enjoyable. The art style and color palette were nice additions that helped to improve the storytelling. This book also takes the opportunity to go over some of Aristotle’s ideas. Sometimes I found these interjections helpful, and other times I found them to interrupt the narrative. Overall, this was an interesting read that would be good for those interested in ancient history or philosophy.
