Beschreibung

In the capital, Nineveh, there resides a deep and complex man, the power behind the King of the World. Faced with unforeseen disaster that threatens his authority, he emerges as a psychopathic killer.

The author uses his familiarity with ancient writings preserved in the world's museums to recreate a vanished world, where those who emerge from the shadows in ruthless pursuit of ultimate control reveal themselves to be disconcertingly human. The tight prose and graphic illustrations make this a gripping and unusual tale, that is not of this world, but oddly familiar.

Über den Autor

Irving Finkel, philologist and Assyriologist, is a spellbinding storyteller and a familiar figure in academic and literary circles. He is the Assistant Keeper of Ancient Mesopotamian script, languages and cultures in the Department of the Middle East in the British Museum, where he reads cuneiform inscriptions on tablets of clay from ancient Mesopotamia. An expert on the history of board games, he is also the author of many children's books as well as the best-selling The Ark Before Noah, which recounts his discovery of a cuneiform tablet that contained a Flood narrative far older than the story of Noah and which led to the recreation of the ark for a 2014 TV documentary.
