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.

Excerpt from Julian: Or, Scenes in Judea
Praise to the God of Abraham: the locusts are flown. The land which they found flourishing and verdant as a garden, they have changed to the barrenness of a desert. The cities and the villages, but now so full of people, are become the region of desolation and death. Even the very city and house of God are level with the dust, and the ploughshare has gone over them. And here upon the hill of Olives I sit, a living witness of the ruin. By reason of the wonderful compassions of God, which never fail, I am escaped as a bird from the net of the fowler: yet I take little joy in this; for why should the days of one like me be lengthened out, when the mighty and excellent of the land are cut off? I rather rejoice in this, that the spoiler is gone, the armies of the alien have ceased to devour, and they who are fled, and hidden in caves and dens of the rocks, may come forth again to inhabit the land and build up the waste places. A multitude, which no man could number, have fallen before the edge of the sword, or by famine, and the air is full of the pestilential vapours that steam up from their rotting carcases. But a greater multitude remains; and it may well be that, ere many years have passed, they shall fill the land as before, and, gathered into one by him who, though long delaying, will come, pay back, and more, the measure they have received. That time will surely come.

Paperback. Zustand: 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.
