«Le Royaume» is the novel by Emmanuel Carrère, published by P.O.L in paperback (630 pages, in French).
The book starts from the beginnings of Christianity at the end of the 1st century: two figures, Paul and Luke, turn a small Jewish sect into a religion that would leave its mark on the Roman Empire. Carrère interweaves that historical reconstruction with the memory of his three years as a fervent Christian and with his current, secular and enquiring view of faith.
It is a 630-page work in French, winner of the Prix littéraire Le Monde (2014) and the Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa Prize (2016).
A read for those seeking a personal and historical approach to the origins of Christianity and for followers of Emmanuel Carrère's writing.
Emmanuel Carrère is a French author, screenwriter and film director.
