Summary
Robert Graves: King Jesus
'King Jesus' has been declared one of the most controversial historical novels of all time. Robert Graves, known for his unconventional interpretation of characters, in it confirmed his exceptional literary and historical erudition, invested a lot of effort in researching the biblical background and successfully revived a historical era in order to produce a magnificent depiction of Christ's earthly life.
Robert Graves (1895-1985) is one of the most respected and influential English poets of the 20th century, and as a novelist he achieved great success by popularizing historical themes in a completely non-trivial way, giving the characters of his novels contemporary liveliness and plasticity. The translation of 'King Jesus' is part of Sandorf's project of publishing the 'Selected Works of Robert Graves' - the updating of quality genre prose of high literary value by the great English stylist.
