Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the struggle between paganism and Christianity, the story follows Emperor Julian as he confronts the rise of Christianity in Roman society. He views the new faith as a rejection of earthly existence for a metaphysical ideal, prompting his desperate efforts to revive the worship of the Olympian Gods. Set against a backdrop of historical inevitability, the narrative delves into themes of spirituality, sacrifice, and the conflict between ancient traditions and emerging beliefs. This edition revitalizes a significant work from Russian literature for contemporary readers.
