Into the Unbounded Night
by Mitchell James Kaplan
"Truly a major novel" -- Stephanie Cowell, American Book Award recipient, author of Claude And Camille: A Novel Of Monet INTO THE UNBOUNDED NIGHT, the epic-yet-intimate literary historical thriller from award-winning author Mitchell James Kaplan, follows the lives of five troubled individuals as they struggle for survival and purpose in the first century Roman empire: Aislin, a refugee in Rome, seeks revenge for the destruction of her village in Britannia. Other important characters, who affect her destiny, include the ambitious general Vespasian, Saul of Tarsus (St. Paul), the rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai, and Azazel, a doomed angel. Throughout INTO THE UNBOUNDED NIGHT, these characters' lives intertwine in unexpected ways that shed light on colonization and its discontents, the relative values of dominant and tyrannized cultures, the sense of imminent apocalypse, and the holiness of life.If you love "Circe" and "All the Light We Cannot See," don't miss INTO THE UNBOUNDED NIGHT.youtube.com/watch?v=46vAsihWK60
