Produktbeschreibung
In the sun-drenched island of Crete, an English writer's hospital stay takes an unexpected turn. A mysterious roommate, their conversations a captivating blend of art, archaeology, reincarnation, and the rigid structures of the English class system, vanishes without a trace. Or so it seems. Upon returning home, the writer uncovers a journal and a worn tarot deck tucked away in his luggage: undeniable proof of his enigmatic encounter. Penned in 1823 by a Paduan named Giovanni Battista Belzoni, the journal reveals a fascinating life. A strongman who captivated British music hall crowds as 'The Patagonian Samson,' Belzoni also made his mark as a daring procurer of Egyptian artifacts for the British Museum. But within the journal's pages lies a chilling account - a terrifying confrontation with Satan himself within the depths of the Great Pyramid of Cheops.
Autorenporträt
It is being said that Crete has a new writer to follow in the footsteps of Nikos Kazantzakis (Zorba the Greek.) Antony Sulayman has become one of the country's adopted sons. Of Dutch/English origin, he is the author of a trilogy of Dystopian novels, 'The Zodiac Assassins', 'Belzoni's Children: Awakening of the Great Fallen Angel' and 'Day of the Dinosaurs.' All are published by Austin Macauley Publishers. Having left Cambridge, he trained as a speech and language therapist for Learning Disabled and Autistic adults. Under the auspices of Britain's Health Service, he toured the largest ever group of L.D actors in the country to inform and educate the general public about the difficulties faced by those with the condition. When the service was moved into the private sector, he re-located to Greece to focus on his other love, that of writing. His novels are deeply personal and enriched by his previous career and a fascination with Greek history. (See FACEBOOK)
