The Gardens Of Light - Softcover

9780349108711: The Gardens Of Light

Synopsis

Born in a Mesopotamian village in the third century, the son of a Parthian warrior, Mani grows up in a volatile and dangerous world. As battle rages for control over the Middle East between the great Roman and Persian empires, as Jews and Christians, Buddhists and Zoroastrians fight for ascendency, Mani- painter, mystic, physician and prophet- makes his way through the battlefields to preach to his incandescent doctrine of humility, tolerance and love, a doctrine that comes to be known as Manicheanism.

A vivid glimpse of the ancient world in all its perfumed splendour and cruelty, an elegantly philosophical discourse on the fall of man, THE GARDENS OF LIGHT is a story of great beauty and resonance, exquisitely told.

Review

A voice which Europe cannot afford to ignore. (GUARDIAN)

Amin Maalouf weaves tapestries of intrigue that illuminate a broader historical moment... in his engaging prose [he goes] a considerable way towards restoring Mani to us...as eloquent as ever. (THE TIMES)

A romantic and affectionate tale... engaging. (TLS)

A master storyteller... and his observation of human nature in all its facets is wonderfully accurate. (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)
