Reference-Galois Theory

Question

I am studying Galois Theory, and I am interested in studying this subject. I like this subject because of some crazy constructions, existence-nonexistence and various other things which motivates us to think. I have read some random books from library but I am not getting enough anything except Definition , Theorem. Hence I request you all to suggest some book which promotes thinking as well

Answer 1

I like Milne's notes on Galois Theory (except for the excesively concise treatment of the separability degree) as a quick (but more or less complete) introduction. For a more complete book, I prefer Bourbaki, Algebra, chap.V (it is definition-theorem style, but it is very well written, easy to read, and you will learn much more than with most other books).

Answer 2

These are books I've read in the past $6$ months trying to find a solution to a quintic equation. I think they might be in descending order or interest to you. (The "examples" in the first reference are mostly exercises for you to complete.)
