Curve of the Earth

A Novel of Lazarus

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What if Lazarus of the Bible was not fated to endure a second death? He lives a Methuselah-life spanning centuries: his body renewed but his faith decaying. This is the story of a wanderer through an epic of apostacy and dissipation, as sailor and slave, warrior and companion, in love and strife, marooned and forgotten. He struggles to discern the kernel of meaning in a meaningless existence, and to divide the gossamer between mortality and immortality. Pursued by ruthless Immortals-radiant entities from beyond the veil-he struggles to avert their wrath and protect those he loves. The Church becomes a circus of ritual and religion. He yearns only for his Beautiful Friend, the humble Messiah. Curve of the earth: "Because we stand on its broad surface, hidden is a view of the earth itself. We see the curve only as it is reflected upon something else: an eclipse or a celestial display that betrays its vastness. Where are you, Lord?... The Infinite is unseen only because we walk too near."
