About the Book

The Kingdom chronicles the advent of a religion and the quest to find a place within it through this sweeping fictional account of the early Christians, whose unlikely beliefs conquered the world.

About the Author :
Emmanuel Carrere, a finalist for the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in 2017, is a Paris-born writer, scriptwriter, and film producer. He is the award-winning, internationally renowned author of Limonov, The Kingdom, The Mustache, Class Trip, The Adversary (a New York Times Notable Book), My Life As a Russian Novel, and Lives Other Than My Own, which was awarded the Globe de Cristal for Best Novel in 2010. For Limonov, he received the Prix Renaudot and the Prix des Prix in 2011 and the Europese Literatuurprijs in 2013. Several of his books have been made into films, and in 2005, he personally directed the film adaptation of his novel La Moustache. John Lambert has translated Monsieur, Reticence, and Self-Portrait Abroad by Jean-Philippe Toussaint, as well as Emmanuel Carrere's Limonov. He lives in Nantes with his wife and two children. Claire Bloom, CBE, is an English film and stage actress, known for leading roles in plays such as Streetcar Named Desire, A Doll's House, and Long Day's Journey into Night, along with nearly sixty films and countless television roles, during a career spanning over six decades. She was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 2013 Queen's birthday honors for services to drama. Stefan Rudnicki first became involved with audiobooks in 1994. Now a Grammy-winning audiobook producer, he has worked on more than three thousand audiobooks as a narrator, writer, producer, or director. He has narrated more than three hundred audiobooks. A recipient of multiple AudioFile Earphones Awards, he was presented the coveted Audie Award for solo narration in 2005, 2007, and 2014, and was named one of AudioFile's Golden Voices in 2012.

Review :
A frequently fascinating book written by a curious, sharp mind. -- "Publishers Weekly" A masterwork...[a] tour de force. -- "Booklist (starred review)" A story of the telling of the world's most famous story and an inquiry into how storytelling works that pushes, not infrequently, against the limits of what can be said. -- "New York magazine" An expert narrator can anchor the most meandering of books-as Stefan Rudnicki does with this one...Rudnicki's steady pace and confident delivery provide the unifying thread...A provocative book, expertly read, this is a historical reconstruction for believers and, even more so, for nonbelievers. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award. -- "AudioFile" An extended look at a spiritual crisis of earlier years...Reads less like fiction than accessible, brightly penned history. -- "Library Journal" Carrere is one of our planet's most compelling, inimitable writers, and The Kingdom is, in my view, his greatest book yet. -- "Tom Bissell, author of Apostle" Memoir, fiction, and history combine in a stirring portrayal of the world of the first Christians...A passionate, digressive, empathetic history of religious rebels and the mystery of faith. -- "Kirkus Reviews (starred review)" Personal and rigorous, skeptical and open, casual and profound, and its speculative portrait of Saint Luke...is as compelling as any fictional life I've read lately. -- "Luc Sante, author of The Other Paris" The need to understand the role you have in the larger human story is at the heart of this beautiful, difficult book. Difficult not in form but in feeling, The Kingdom manages to get at the contradictions of what we call intimacy. -- "New York Times"
