"Those who trouble the world will not trouble you."
This book is a serious historical novel, focusing on the big story of a pair of little people who have been forgotten by history in pursuit of dignity in the chaos of the Levant in 605 BC. Friendly for lovers of ancient Greece, ancient Israel, and West Asian (Near East) history! Readers who are interested in the Bible and the Iliad should not miss it! The style is close to Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian", the plot setting is close to Flaubert's "Salembo", and the theme is still closely related to "Where is God" from "The Exorcist".
The male protagonist Xenoclus is a Greek-Phoenician hybrid who grew up in Sidon. He longs to be recorded in legends to prevent him from being forgotten. The heroine Yehudit is a Judah who was abandoned in Samaria. She heard the word of God during a high fever and resolutely went to Jerusalem to declare destruction. They struggle to survive in a world of chaos and chaos, eroding each other. In the end, can we find the value of survival?
