Kralj Isus

Graves is known in Croatia as the author of the historical novel "I, Klaudie", which at one time also received an extremely popular television version. However, we are talking about a celebrated English poet, but also an author who also dealt with universal themes of world history and religion. The peak of this obviously not only literary interest is immortalized in "King Jesus", a book that is full of historical and religious data and analysis of ancient events in the geographically relatively small area of ​​today's Israel and, let's be politically correct, today's Palestine.

In the book, Graves is actually an energetic biographer of Jesus Christ, but at the same time he maintains an unconventional approach to the well-known biblical, i.e. official church version of Jesus' life and works. Although the book "King Jesus" also makes claims that many believers, not to mention clerics, will seem excessive and too radical, it should be said that the author in this book does not question either the appearance of Jesus or his philanthropic teaching. Indeed. Therefore, the book will be interesting to all those who are fascinated by the extraordinary appearance of Jesus to this day. But when writing about Jesus, Graves boldly and consistently presents some of his truths, justifying them with the utmost fictional freedom of writing, so in "King Jesus" we can also read who Jesus' real father is, according to whom it is that Jesus has a royal origin, who is his then he was a grandfather, why did Jesus enter into marriage and why, in the end, he did not consummate it... - Denis Derk
