About this book

Jesus of Nazareth is universally known, but no one really knows his story; in addition to the Canonical Gospels, which refer very little to private life, we have the Apocryphal Gospels, the Gnostic Gospels, the oral traditions, the Koran, contemporary historians, the traditions of other religions, in short, a flourishing of different, conflicting, credible, incredible information, which tells us little of proven life of the Messiah, Prophet, preacher, healer, myth who lived about 2000 years ago in Palestine. Not being able to produce an essay, as one would have been immediately criticized, or even attacked - indicating such and such a source and denying its authenticity or historicity -; therefore we wanted to write the history of the man who, voluntarily or involuntarily, has most changed the history of humanity. The text was written in the form of a historical novel, so that it was possible to narrate the events that are only the result of traditions, the most varied; we cannot know if what is narrated is the true story of Jesus, surely there is a good chance that it is close to the historical truth. In conclusion, the intention was to restore to the mythical figure of Jesus that human dimension, lost or never narrated, which brings it back to a plausible and realistic historicity. Filling those gaps in his path of intellectual and spiritual growth that are not yet reported in official historiography. If the story produces points of reflection, this will mean that the novel has achieved its purpose; otherwise it will be understood as a simple narrative novel.
