AD1 onwards: A story of man and of time himself
AD1 onwards: A story of man and of time himself
Some stories are universal. They play out across human history. And time is the river which will flow through them.
It starts with a family, a family which will mutate. For now, it is a father, mother and two sons. One with his father’s violence in his blood. One who lives his mother’s artistry. One leaves. One stays. They will be joined by others whose deeds will change their fate. It is a beginning.
Their stories will intertwine and evolve over the course of two thousand years – they will meet again and again at different times and in different places. From distant Palestine at the dawn of the first millennium to a life amongst the stars in the third. While the world will change around them, their destinies will remain the same. It must play out as foretold. It is written.
This is an epic novel in scope and time
It starts off in a Palestine camp in AD1 and then travels the world and time following the journeys of several narrators and characters along the way.
The journey takes us far and wide: Palestine, Turkey AD 41, Iran AD152, and then Italy, Switzerland, Somalia, S Korea, Eritrea, Cyprus, Guatemala, Hungary, Sri Lanka, Greenland, Peru, Bulgaria, Mexico, Egypt, Ireland and Nepal to name just a few!
Take a seat, sit back and get ready for an epic journey on all fronts.
There are many specific locations such as the Globe as seen through Shakespeare’s eyes, the Vatican through Michelangelo’s, and then visits to Ancient Rome and monasteries across time. There were an infinite number of places and some surprises so best to discover these at your leisure.
