The Kingdom

`This is a brilliant, shocking book … also witty, painfully self-critical and humane … it is a work of great literature` Tim Whitmarsh, Guardian`The Kingdom, already a huge bestseller in France, is thrilling, magnificent and strange` Bryan Appleyard, Sunday TimesThe sensational international bestseller from one of France`s most fรชted writers – an epic novel telling the story of Christianity as it has never been told before, and one man`s crisis of faith.Corinth, ancient Greece, two thousand years ago. An itinerant preacher, poor, wracked by illness, 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. Like a contagion, the story will spread over the city, the country and, eventually, the world. Emmanuel Carrรจre`s astonishing historical epic tells the story of the mysterious beginnings of Christianity, bringing to life a distant, primeval past of strange sects, apocalyptic beliefs and political turmoil. In doing so Carrรจre, once himself a fervent believer, questions his own faith, asks why we believe in resurrection, and what it means. The Kingdom is his masterpiece.`An utterly brilliant book` Catherine Nixey, The Times
