The Blood Star

Der Makedonier[Historischer Roman]

Yoshua, un carpintero de la aldea de Nazaret, siente la llamada de Dios y predica la inminente llegada del Juicio Final. Esta la historia de su vida y de su terrible final a través de los ojos de su primo, y amigo más cercano, Noah el herrero: hombre recto y prudente que conoce bien un mundo en el que la traición y el asesinato son habituales en la lucha por el poder. No obstante, el herrero está dispuesto a poner en peligro su vida para salvar la de Yoshua. El herrero de Galilea es el producto de veinte años de investigación y de un profundo conocimiento del mundo antiguo; una fascinante novela que especula sobre lo que pudo ser el complot político para acabar con la vida de Jesús y los esfuerzos de un hombre por salvarle. El Yoshua de esta novela, el Jesús de la fe cristiana, es un hombre como cualquier otro, un héroe muy humano cuya derrota a manos de sus enemigos le confiere una trágica dimensión de grandeza.

The Assyrian

Un bestseller internazionale, L’Assiro è un’e­popea d’amore e di guerra ambientata nel VII secolo a.C. Due uomini, amici intimi e rivali, nati da madri diverse ma entrambi fi­gli del re, crescono per governare il mondo. Assiria, VII secolo a.C. Ninive è la splen­dida e temuta capitale di un vasto impero nel quale convivono sofisticata raffinatezza e primordiale brutalità. Nell’imponente pa­lazzo, dimora del potente re Sennacherib, si­gnore dei Quattro Angoli della Terra, i due fratellastri Tiglath Assur, guerriero assiro figlio del re e della concubina greca Mero­pe, e Asarhaddon trascorrono serenamente l’infanzia e l’adolescenza in profonda amici­zia, comunicandosi piccoli segreti, speranze e illusioni. Insieme scoprono la tumultuosa vita della grande città, dalle innumerevoli vie affollate di gente proveniente da tutto il mondo. La loro amicizia viene però incri­nata da un’antica profezia, secondo la quale uno dei due è destinato al trono imperiale – e al conseguente matrimonio con un’affa­scinante principessa – e l’altro a diventare un guerriero di leggendario valore. Il romanzo ricostruisce le vicende del perio­do in cui l’impero assiro toccò l’apogeo se­guendo la diversa prospettiva di Tiglath As­sur, che narra in prima persona gli eventi fin dalla sua infanzia. Nel racconto si alternano personaggi storici realmente esistiti, come Sennacherib, la regina Naq’ia e suo figlio Asarhaddon, ad altri di pura invenzione ren­dendo la trama unica e di assoluto valore.

Ninive

Ancient Sparta comes to life in The Spartan Dagger, Nicholas Guild's vivid tale of murder and vengeance. On a cold night, at the outskirts of a peasant village, two Spartan youths wait to perform an ancient rite of passage. A family--father, mother, and their son--approaches, unarmed and defenseless. The young men step into the moonlight and claim their manhood by killing the adults. The boy escapes. The Spartans have no idea how terrible an enemy they have called forth. Nothing could have prepared them for the boy, Protos, whose name means “destined,” whose cunning and inborn skill with weapons renders his enemies almost defenseless, and whose heart knows no pity. The Spartans have oppressed his people for centuries, and to break their power is to free all those they hold in subjection. As Protos grows to manhood, he begins to understand that his private war against his parents’ murderers is also a struggle for liberation.
