Set in the 5th century AD, <i>Azazeel</i> is the exquisitely crafted tale of a Coptic monk''s journey from Upper Egypt to Alexandria and then Syria during a time of massive upheaval in the early Church. Winner of the Arab Booker Prize, <i>Azazeel </i>highlights how the history of our civilization has been warped by greed and avarice since its very beginnings and how one man''s beliefs are challenged not only by the malice of the devil, but by the corruption with the early Church. In sparse and often sparkling prose that reflects the arid beauty of the Syrian landscape, <i>Azazeel</i> is a novel that forces us to re-think many of our long-held beliefs and invites us to rediscover a lost history.
