The Writing in the Stone - Irving Finkel

Descriere The Writing in the Stone - Irving Finkel

\nThe landscape of this dark and powerful story is the ancient world of Assyria some 3000 years ago, a time when writing was in the world's oldest script, cuneiform, and the domination of unseen forces firmly in the hands of the state's leading Exorcist. \nIn the capital, Nineveh, resides a deep and complex man, the power behind the King of the World. Faced with unforeseen disaster that threatens his authority, he emerges as a psychopathic killer. \n \nThe author uses his familiarity with ancient writings preserved in the world's museums to recreate a vanished world in which those who step from the shadows in ruthless violence to pursue ultimate control show themselves at the same time to be disconcertingly human. \n \nThe tight prose and graphic illustrations make this a gripping and unusual tale not of this world, but at the same time weirdly familiar.\n
