Reviews
“This is a remarkable work. … Andrea Parlangeli has done a wonderful job in presenting a readable book overflowing with irresistible information: the detailed story of a brilliant and unusual mathematician, his own man, a practicing Catholic who lived his faith — indeed a pure soul: the book is perfectly titled. … I recommend this book most enthusiastically.” (Michael Berg, MAA Reviews, October 15, 2019)
