About This Novel

This book is one of the "20th Century Russian Literature Series". This novel is based on the history of the Roman Empire, reflects the cruel struggle between Christianity and polytheism, and depicts the tragic image of Roman Emperor Julian. The novel starts from Julian's childhood and describes his life activities. This monarch declared religious freedom three hundred years after the birth of Christianity, attempting to restore the polytheism of the ancient Greek period. Because he admired ancient Greek art and regarded the Olympian gods as the ideal of beauty and the source of power. Julian was declared an "apostate" by the Christian church in history, but this book portrays Julian as a tragic hero and is full of sympathy for him.
