The Nazarene. Poet's Days by Sholem Asch. Translated by Magnús Jochumsson. Here are all parts of the story together in a nice box. Volume 1. The Roman; Volume 2. The Disciple; Volume 3. The Jew.
The book brilliantly describes the customs of the people in the Holy Land during the time of Christ, the class differences, the Roman hegemony, the Jewish struggle for freedom and their Messianic dreams. In this society Jesus of Nazareth appeared. The Gospel accounts of the life and work of Jesus have always been a subject of interest for poets and artists, and there is nothing more difficult than to take this magnificent and sensitive subject to poetic treatment anew, as is done in this book.
People agree that in this work Sholem Asch's poetic talent is at its highest, as the book as a whole is considered one of the most significant literary achievements of our time. (Publisher's introduction).
