Parallels are being struck all over the place with radicalism in the 20th century--part of what makes Gert a memorable voice is a combination of zeal, pragmatism and survival instinct that keeps him one step ahead of the Inquisitors for 30 years and enables him to, for example, do serious damage to the Holy Roman Emperor's favourite bankers. In the end, Gert and Q are left with more in common than the past they share--the rules are changing and the board is being cleared, and there is time for one last crucial intervention... This is ingeniously plotted, and full of vividly realised scenes of 16th century life; if it has a fault, it is that we live through every day of three tumultuous decades, every sermon and theological treatise, in exhausting detail. --Roz Kaveney

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Perfect for fans of Umberto Eco and Hilary Mantell. An international phenomenon and a bestseller across Europe, Q is an ambitious, brilliant and angry historical thriller, written by four young Italians. Q has become a cult book of the noughties and offers far more than the average religious historical novelSet in Reformation Europe, Q begins with Luther's nailing of his 95 theses on the door of the cathedral church in Wittenberg. Q traces the adventures and conflicts of two central characters- an Anabaptist, a member of the most radical of the Protestant sects and the anarchists of the Reformation, and a Catholic spy and informer, on their thrilling journey across Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. The four young writers who shelter behind the pseudonym Luther Blissett have created a world of intrigue, violence and intense political and religious passion. Far from the traditional example of historical fiction, Q is the stuff of which cults are made. This unusual adventure, set in Reformation Europe, was written by four young authors and first published in Italy under a collective pseudonym. It describes the massive religious and social upheaval in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
