Robert Graves: King Jesus, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Robert Graves's controversial historical novel is a bold reworking of the story of Christ. Here Jesus is not the son of God but the result of a secret marriage - the descendant of Herod and true King of the Jews. Written from the perspective of a lowly official at the end of the first century AD King Jesus recounts Jesus's birth youth life as a charismatic 'wonder worker' and the unorthodox bitter nature of his death and resurrection. Portraying Jesus not as divine but as a flawed human bent upon his own doom this retelling of the gospels is a compelling blend of research imagination and narrative power.
