Do we know everything about the last hours of Christ? Did something happen just before the Crucifixion that no one has talked about for centuries?
And yet, that day in the Praetorium of Jerusalem, a woman stood up and tried to save the Nazarene, doing what dozens of men around her did not dare. Her name is Claudia Prokla. The wife of Pontius Pilate himself, the man who judged Jesus. A Roman of the ruling class, who, in times of adversity for every woman, chose her own destiny, following the voice of the heart. Who was it really? And how did she come to be declared a Saint of the Christian Church after her death?
From the windswept deserts of Judea to the misty paths of glittering Rome, this is the shocking story of people who fought in the dark to come to light. It is the portrait of a courageous being who opposed the violence of her day. The anatomy of a marriage that was mercilessly struck by fate. The dramatic chronicle of a trial that marked humanity and that tragic judge who waved his hands, the man who had started his career with dreams and disappeared into obscurity. And finally, the odyssey of an old Roman general, who forty years after the Crucifixion brought to light the hidden secrets on his way to his own redemption.
Stefanos Dandolos draws inspiration from a recorded event of the last hours of Christ, which never emerged, and, combining reality and fiction, builds a deeply evocative novel about the hope, love and miracles of the human soul.
An epic work that captivates the reader with the torrent of writing and the exquisite representation of the time, masterfully bringing to life an unknown aspect of the most beautiful history of the world.
