Wybitny historyk francuski Fernand Braudel w swoich pracach o Morzu Śródziemnym stwierdził, że dla zrozumienia działań nawet pojedynczego człowieka konieczny jest szeroki kontekst, jaki tworzą przestrzeń i środowisko społeczne, w którym toczy swoje życie główny bohater. Dla Braudela Filip II, król Hiszpanii, stał się więc tylko pretekstem do analizy całej cywilizacji Morza Śródziemnego w jego czasach. W prezentowanej książce autor posługuje się metodą Braudela, ale odnosi ją do Mikołaja Kopernika – uczonego. Jego biografia pozostaje na marginesie tych rozważań – zdecydowanie ciekawszy dla autora jest bowiem ów kontekst przestrzenny i społeczny, który musiał w jakiejś mierze kształtować osobowość Mikołaja i jego horyzonty intelektualne. Kontekst ten tworzą biogramy toruńskich rodzin spokrewnionych i spowinowaconych z astronomem oraz zupełnie odmienna od dotychczas prezentowanych genealogia rodziny Koperników. Autor przedstawia też nowe ustalenia dotyczące pierwszego, toruńskiego okresu życia Mikołaja Kopernika.
