Product Description
Was Jezebel truly the idolatrous queen and seductress depicted by the Bible? What was her role almost three thousand years ago in the political and religious context of the Ancient Near East, so as to generate so much hatred even today?
Eleanor Ferris Beach combines first-rate biblical scholarship with a fictionalized first-person account of a biblical character. Presented as a 'recently discovered' cache of documents from the ninth century BCE, Las cartas de la reina Jezabel draws the reader into an assassination conspiracy supported by the era's most notorious biblical character, Queen Jezabel. Her letters and memoirs, interwoven with the sometimes conflicting contemporary accounts of the Bible and ancient Near Eastern documents, re-create the century's religious, political, military, and economic developments in the kingdoms of Israel and Judah.
Generously illustrated with line drawings, Las cartas de la reina Jezabel is solidly based on historical research, archaeological excavation, and familiarity with the region s geography and material culture.
