Beschreibung

Nicolas Notovitch was born into an aristocratic Jewish family, but converted to Christianity in his youth. A prolific journalist, author of twelve books (and some say, spy), he travelled widely in the east, visiting India, Afghanistan and Ladakh. After a riding accident that broke his leg, Notovitch recuperated at a Tibetan monastery in Hemis. Here, he heard of a manuscript that revealed astonishing information on the sixteen 'Lost Years of Jesus' - the period between Christ's visit to the Jerusalem Temple at the age of twelve and His baptism in the Jordan, about which the bible is strangely silent. The Tibetan manuscript relates that Jesus spent this time traveling to India and Tibet to study the spiritual disciplines of the East. He then returned via Persia to Israel, where He taught until eventual crucifixion. This account was published by Notovitch in 1887 as The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ. It caused an immediate sensation, stirring passions on both sides, shaking the foundations of orthodox Christianity, and raising a storm of controversy that, after more than 125 years, has not yet abated. An exciting, thought-provoking book, and essential reading for anyone interested in the life of the historical Jesus.

During his travels he reported visiting monasteries in Tibet and Ladakh, where he claimed to have encountered manuscripts describing the early life of [...] book The Unknown Life of Jesus attracted considerable international attention after its publication, as it presented an unusual narrative suggesting that Jesus may have travelled through India and neighbouring regions during the years not described in the New [...] work quickly became the subject of scholarly debate and remains one of the most widely discussed texts connected with alternative traditions about the life of Jesus and nineteenth-century Western interest in Eastern religious traditions.
