The Zero Man

José, a young Mozarab, is forced to flee Cordova after his extraordinary talent for mathematics stirs jealousy and suspicion. Taking refuge at the Ripoll Monastery, he begins teaching Arabic numerals, introducing revolutionary ideas to a world still bound by Roman numbers. As he shares his knowledge, José becomes entangled in the Catalonian people's struggle to break free from Frankish rule. But his brilliance soon draws the attention of fanatics who see his teachings as a threat, setting the stage for a gripping tale of courage, discovery, and resistance in medieval Spain.
