"Hypatia, eli Uusia vihollisia vanhassa hahmossa" by Charles Kingsley is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book is set in the turbulent fifth century and revolves around the character of Hypatia, a renowned philosopher and mathematician in Alexandria. It explores themes of knowledge, faith, and the conflict between paganism and early Christianity in a society on the brink of significant change. At the start of the novel, we meet Filammon, a young monk who finds himself in the desolate desert south of Alexandria, reflecting on life's deeper questions and the eternal struggle between good and evil. He is drawn to the remnants of a pagan temple, symbolizing the old world he has been taught to shun. Filammon’s internal conflict intensifies when he is torn between his learned fears of temptation and an insatiable curiosity about the outside world. He eventually expresses a deep desire to understand and engage with the world beyond his cloistered life, setting the stage for his journey towards Hypatia, who embodies the intellectual and spiritual ideals of the era.
