Synopsis
Excerpt from Julian: Or, Scenes in Judea
You who know your son so well, will not doubt that I took my departure from Antioch with pain. No where since I passed the gates of Rome have I been entertained with such magnificence. Nowhere have the hours proved themselves so short-lived. After the dulness of Athens, and the worse than dulness of Smyrna, Ephesus, and Rhodes, it was refreshing to witness the noise and stir of the mistress of the East. So frequent were the theatres, baths, and porticos.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This historical fiction immerses readers in Judea's sociopolitical climate during Roman rule. The protagonist, Julian, a Roman-born Jew, faces an inner struggle of identity while exploring his ancestral homeland. Despite an upbringing that instilled disdain for his heritage, a visit to his mother's birthplace in Caesarea stirs a newfound curiosity and empathy within him. The book delves into the complexities of Jewish life in the region, where Herod's Hellenistic influences clash with the traditions and beliefs of devout Jews. Julian witnesses firsthand the tensions between the Jewish and Greek populations, particularly in the dispute over a synagogue's location, which becomes a symbol of cultural and religious conflict. The novel offers insights into the subtleties of Jewish identity, the effects of Roman imperialism, and the nature of oppression. The author explores themes of cultural preservation, the search for one's roots, and the challenges faced by marginalized communities. Through Julian's journey, readers will gain a deeper understanding of this significant period in Jewish history and the complexities of identity, allegiance, and the human condition.
