Description

This is a brilliant and thought-provoking novel that explores the origins of Christianity in a unique and captivating way. Emmanuel Carrère's masterful storytelling brings to life a distant past of strange sects, apocalyptic beliefs and political turmoil.

Set in ancient Greece over two thousand years ago, the book tells the story of a prophet who was crucified in Judea, who came back from the dead, and whose return is a sign of something enormous. As the story spreads, it raises fundamental questions about faith, resurrection and the nature of belief.

A deeply personal and philosophical work, The Kingdom is a work of great literature that challenges readers to think critically about their own beliefs and values. With its unique blend of history, philosophy and fiction, this is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
