미켈란젤로가 죽고, 세익스피어가 태어난 1564년에 이태리의 피사에서 갈릴레오가 태어났어요. 25세에 피사대학의 수학 교수가 된 갈릴레오는 나침반, 현미경, 망원경, 온도계 등 실생활에 유용하게 쓰일 수 있는 많은 과학도구를 손수 발명 또는 개량했지요. 특히 피사의 사탑에서 무게가 다른 두 물건을 동시에 떨어뜨려서 그 당시까지 사람들이 믿고 있었던 아리스토텔레스의 이론, 즉 무거운 물체가 더 빨리 떨어진다는 이론이 틀렸음을 증명했지요. 한 마디로 갈릴레오는 그 당시에는 잘 나가는 스타 과학자였어요.
갈릴레오가 망원경을 손수 만든 이후 그는 밤마다 하늘의 달과 별을 관찰했어요. 그리고 관찰 결과를 정리해서 만든 책이 "The Starry Messenger"랍니다. 그 후 그는 목성의 4개 위성을 포함 새로운 천문학적인 발견을 계속해 나갔어요. 그러나 이러한 갈릴레오의 업적은 교회의 염려를 불러 일으켰지요. 왜냐하면 그 당시에는 우주의 중심은 지구고 모든 별들은 지구를 중심으로 해서 돌고 있다고 생각했는데 갈릴레오의 발견은 이러한 믿음에 반하는 것이었거든요. 결국 그는 교황이 주재하는 종교재판에 불려 나갔고, 평생 집안에 갇히는 신세가 되었죠...
갈릴레오의 일생과 지동설을 둘러싼 교회와의 대립을 쉽고 재미있게 보여줍니다.
이 책은 과학에 관심이 있는 어린이에게는 특히 소중한 선물이 될 것입니다.

Book Description
In every age there are courageous people who break with tradition to explore new ideas and challenge accepted truths. Galileo Galilei was just such a man--a genius--and the first to turn the telescope to the skies to map the heavens. In doing so, he offered objective evidence that the earth was not the fixed center of the universe but that it and all the other planets revolved around the sun. Galileo kept careful notes and made beautiful drawings of all that he observed. Through his telescope he brought the starts down to earth for everyone to see.
By changing the way people saw the galaxy, Galileo was also changing the way they saw themselves and their place in the universe. This was very exciting, but to some to some it was deeply disturbing. Galileo has upset the harmonious view of heaven and earth that had been accepted since ancient times. He had turned the world upside down.
In this amazing new book, Peter Sís employs the artist's lens to give us an extraordinary view of the life of Galileo Galilei. Sís tells his story in language as simple as a fairy tale, in pictures as rich and tightly woven as a tapestry, and in Galileo's own words, written more than 350 years ago and still resonant with truth.
The New York Times Book Review,
The magic of Starry Messenger is how Mr. Sis manages to tell the relatively complicated story of Galileo in such a simple, straightforward way, accompanied by some of the most gorgeous illustrations imaginable.
From Publishers Weekly
Extraordinary pictures light up this tribute to Galileo, telling the story of his discoveries, rise to prominence and excoriation by the Church. Sis (Follow the Dream), an experienced and sophisticated chronicler of history's visionaries, outdoes himself with his illustrations. Detailed and delicate, ingeniously conceived, his paintings convey abstractions with an immediate impact. The artist expresses the simultaneous wonder and prevision of Galileo's celestial observations, for example, in a luminous multipaneled composition: in the center, Galileo trains his telescope on the moon; surrounding panels replicate Galileo's notes about and sketches of the lunar surface. Other paintings take inspiration from contemporaneous maps and treatises; still others borrow historical imagery to convey the loneliness of the censored scientist. Handwritten passages from Galileo's own works embellish the pages and supply information missing from the text. Even with the powerful art, however, this volume does not open up Galileo's story to the uninitiated: the brief text oversimplifies the issues, even for a picture book, and seems to presume the reader's awareness of the historical significance of Galileo's struggles. While the book's usefulness may be limited, its strengths are not: it is a book with deep if not broad appeal.
From School Library Journal
In Follow the Dream (Knopf, 1991), Sis depicted both the humanity and heroism of Christopher Columbus. In Starry Messenger, Sis turns his considerable talents to another infamous Italian?Galileo Galilei. He layers his telling so that young children or groups may focus on the short version printed in large type at the bottom of each page. Older readers will glean more from the quotes pulled from the astronomer's treatise (the work that inspired this title) and other primary sources, such as Inquisition documents. This second layer is printed in script and presented in a variety of decorative patterns (suggesting ideograms) to distinguish it. The sophisticated details of Sis's watercolor, pen, and rubber-stamp illustrations provide yet another dimension as well as ambiance. A master of symbol, the artist creates scenes that focus on the subject?"a boy born with stars in his eyes"?and shows how he shines against the darker aspects of his time. The aging scientist stands alone in a circle of yellow light, suggesting his identification with the heliocentrism for which he was being condemned, surrounded by a sea of red-clad Cardinals. The text is no less powerful: "He was tried in the Pope's court, and everyone could see that the stars had left his eyes." The pathos, the painstaking copies of Galileo's famous sketches of the heavens, and the attention to current scholarship make this book a fascinating find. Leonard Everett Fisher's Galileo (S & S, 1992) is a useful companion for a more straightforward approach. |
