Synopsis

The year is 33 AD and Marcellus arrives in Jerusalem with a letter for Pontius Pilate. From the international bestselling author of THE MASK OF TIME, THE ORIGINAL SIN and THE SEVENTH MOON comes a spellbinding novel of the ancient world. The life and loves of Marcellus unfold against the vivid, sprawling panorama of the Roman Empire. As a brilliant young lawyer with the right connections, Marcellus moves easily among the great figures of his age – the emperors Tiberius, Caligula and Claudius; King Herod and his beautiful wife, Herodias; the prefect of Judea, Pilate; and the obscure Galilean he crucifies, Jesus of Nazareth. "Not a Christian, not a Jew, not even a Roman," Marcellus the Etruscan observes his world with sharp eyes and a warm heart. Through the often grim and bloody events of fifty years which changed the world, his life is a triumph of the human spirit. ‘An author with a rare talent to enthrall’ Booklist Also by Marius Gabriel: THE MASK OF TIME ‘Keeps you reading while your dinner burns… Great fun.’ Cosmopolitan THE SEVENTH MOON ‘Few thrillers have as strong a sense of atmosphere and adventure as this fascinating tale.’ Chicago Tribune

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Marius Gabriel served his author apprenticeship as a student at Newcastle University, where, to finance his postgraduate research, he wrote thirty-three Mills & Boon romances under a pseudonym. His identity as a man had to be kept secret until he turned to longer fiction under his own name. Gabriel is the author of eight sagas and historical novels, including the bestsellers The Mask Of Time, The Original Sin and The Seventh Moon, and was once accused by Cosmopolitan magazine of ‘keeping you reading while your dinner burns’. He very seldom burns his own, however, being an enthusiastic cook, as well as an artist and a musician. Born in South Africa in 1954, he has lived and worked in many countries, and now divides his time between London and Cairo. He has three grown-up children.
