«L'affaire Marie Madeleine» is the historical novel by Gerald Messadié, published by JC Lattès in paperback (352 pages, in French).
Who was Mary Magdalene and what was her role alongside Jesus? The novel imagines that she devised a plot to save him: bribing the soldiers, delaying the crucifixion and recovering his wounded body. Jesus reappears with the aura of having conquered death. The work recreates Rome, Jerusalem and the tensions between priests, zealots and prophets.
The cover indicates «roman» and the book includes an afterword by the author, with sources, where he develops his arguments.
For readers of historical fiction interested in reinterpretations of the gospels and in the political and religious background of Jesus's time.
Gerald Messadié was a French scientific journalist, essayist and novelist. His work comprised historical novels, biographies, essays on the history of religions, and some science fiction work where esoterism takes a large place.
