The title of the audio book would make one think it deals with two topic: Hypatia and the Library of Alexandria. In under two hours, it gave me an intro course on Hypatia, the most respected female philosopher of ancient times and one of the most influential philosophers ever. Whilst, I didn't expect this book to also tackle the library at length, I was looking forward to catching a glimpse of the library before Hypatia's time, giving this incredible historical figure a much-deserved backdrop (the Library was already burned down before she was born). I was disappointed.
