Περιγραφή για Names of the Women Jeet Thayil Jonathan Cape Ltd

From the Booker-shortlisted author of Narcopolis, in prose of extraordinary power, a novel about the women whose roles were suppressed, reduced or erased in the Gospels.\'Dazzling, smouldering . . . It is literally a tale that\'s waited a thousand years to be told.\' MARLON JAMES, WINNER OF THE 2015 MAN BOOKER PRIZENames of the Women begins with Christ on the cross addressing Mary of Magdala, asking her to bear witness to his death. As the novel unfolds, it tells the stories of fifteen women whose lives overlapped with the life of Christ. Lydia and Assia, Martha and Mary of Bethany, Junia the Widow of Jerusalem, Susanna the Barren, Ariamma the Canaanite, and others whose names have been spoken only in passing or not at all. Women who stayed with Christ through the crucifixion, when his disciples had abandoned him, and who spread his radical message - one that made them equals and a profound threat to power within the church.Together, the voices of the women dare us to reimagine the story of the New Testament in a way it has never before been told.*A \'BOOKS OF 2021\' PICK IN THE FINANCIAL TIMES AND NEW STATESMAN* Σελίδες: 192, Διαστάσεις: 14.5x14.5cm
