  The novel event of the year!
  
  Michael is a modern young man without any attachment to the Christian religion. But one day he sets off to visit the excavation site of Khirbet Qumran - a haunting dream has suggested that he travel there. At his destination he finds a suitcase made of a metal that does not exist on earth. This suitcase contains film footage showing the life of an intimate friendship, a friendship of the young writer Joshua with the man Jesus. While watching the film, Michael realizes more and more that he has more in common with the man Jesus Christ than he ever thought possible.
  
  This historical novel about Jesus Christ and his connection to the great holy family of the Santinians is embedded in a heartfelt love story full of passion. His groundbreaking revelations reveal the unique charism of the biblical and yet so timelessly alive person of Jesus. The book has the potential to become a classic of spiritual literature. Exciting and down to earth. Perhaps you too will be left speechless at the end and wonder whether it might not have happened in exactly the same way ...
  
  "The life's work of the author, on which he researched and wrote for over nine years. Every part of the plot is well-founded and conscientiously researched - as incredible as it may seem at first glance."
  
  "A wonderful book!" - Elias
  
  The novel is also available in German as a book and as an eBook.

  Imperial Russia’s Czar Alexander I battles Napoleon for control of Europe   After declaring himself Emperor of France following a sweeping victory in Europe, General Napoleon Bonaparte, the son of a poor Corsican lawyer, is ready for his next conquest. He has no doubt that he can defeat Austria, and is confident that Russia will soon follow. After all, he triumphed in revolution and recast an empire. What has he to fear from the twenty-nine-year-old czar of a barbaric country?   The grandson of Catherine the Great, Alexander I is tall, irresistibly handsome, and known for his liberal leanings and winning ways with women who are not his wife. He ascended to the throne by murdering his father and is now determined to vanquish the French emperor. Napoleon will soon learn that he has a formidable adversary in Alexander.   Sweeping from St. Petersburg to Paris, from the Kremlin to the battlefield, and filled with historic authenticity, Far Flies the Eagle offers a fascinating glimpse into the Romanov family, including the controversy surrounding Alexander’s relationship with his beautiful, power-hungry sister, the Grand Duchess Catherine, whom Napoleon considers marrying if he can rid himself of his years-older wife Josephine.  Far Flies the Eagle is the 3rd book in the Romanov Trilogy, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

  Count Belisarius

  This “vigorous tale” by the acclaimed author of I, Claudius captures the sixth century fall of the Byzantine Empire as seen through the eyes of a servant (Kirkus Reviews).   Threatened by invaders on all sides, the Eastern Roman Empire of the sixth century fought to maintain its borders. Leading its defense was the Byzantine general Belisarius, a man who earned the grudging respect of his enemies, and who rose to become Emperor Justinian’s greatest military leader.   Loosely based on Procopius’s History of the Justinian Wars and Secret History, this novel tells the Belisarius’s story through the eyes of Eugenius, a eunuch and servant to the general’s wife. It presents a compelling portrait of a man bound by a strict code of honor and unrelenting loyalty to an emperor who is intelligent but flawed, and whose decisions bring him to a tragic end.   Eminent historical novelist and classicist Robert Graves presents a vivid account of a time in history both dissolute and violent, and demonstrates one again his mastery of this historical period.  “A brilliant piece of scholarship.” —Kirkus Reviews  “The scope of the book is massive—encompassing religious controversy and cultural developments as well as military history—yet, throughout, Graves succeeds in blending historical details with the development of his main characters.” —Historical Novel Society
