Under Tiberius
Under Tiberius | Nick Tosches
5 posts | 1 reading | 1 to read
A work of dangerous and haunting beauty by America's last real literary outlaw. Under Tiberius is a thrilling story of crime and deceit involving the man who came to be called Jesus Christ. Deep in the recesses of the Vatican, Nick Tosches unearths a first-century memoir by Gaius Fulvius Falconius, foremost speechwriter for Emperor Tiberius. The codex is profound, proof of the existence of a Messiah who was anything but the one we've known -- a shabby and licentious thief. After encountering him in the streets of Judea, Gaius becomes spin doctor to Jesus, and the pair schemes to accrue untold riches by convincing the masses that Jesus is the Son of God. As their marriage of truth and lies is consummated, friendship and wary respect develop between these two grifters. Outrageous and disturbing, Under Tiberius is as black as the ravishing night, shot through with fierce and brilliant light.

I love that the author chose this particular artwork as the #Frontispiece

This was illuminated by #Renaissance #Alchemist, #NicolasFlamel and is an allegorical piece illustrating the transformation of #Mercury as a crucified snake

"Some years ago, in the spring of 2000, I was spending my days in the Vatican, studying several unique manuscripts in the course of my research for a novel"(1).

"This piece of overlooked kindling is the memoir of a man who knew both Tiberius and Jesus. It may be the only real proof that Jesus ever existed" (6)

I want to thank you for an awesome book choice, as well as the equally awesome letter @ChallaF

I'm truly psyched to read this intriguing selection I received from @ChallaF. She did an excellent job of choosing a book I haven't read, yet exactly right up my alley!

Again, kudos ! @TheBookKeepers for organizing and running this book swap. I certainly hope you plan to do so again near future...perhaps with a 'twist' of some sorts...?

ByChallaF You are most welcome!!! 6y
TheBookKeepers Yay! Yes absolutely plan to make this a repeat swap!! Suggestions for a twist? I‘ll definitely be adding an international option since many ppl requested it this last time around! 6y
bookcollecter @TheBookKeepers I have a possible idea: in honor of 2018 being the Year of the Dog (in Chinese Astrology) participants will have to swap a book that somehow has a connection to dogs wether it be allegorical or literal. What do you think? 🤔 6y
TheBookKeepers I like it! I definitely consider it for the next round! 6y
