The Chosen Book II : The Prophet

AN EPIC NOVEL BASED ON THE BIBLICAL STORY OF DANIEL. The Prophet is the second installment of the bestselling historical novel, THE CHOSEN, by Shlomo Kalo, one of the most prolific writers in Israel and a nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature. In THE PROPHET, the figures in the Babylon court who have taken to Daniel - or envy and hate him - come to the fore. His counsel is sought by those in power. He is challenged by many things: the affections of Adelain, the daughter of a high commander; the revolt being hatched by the small Jewish community in Babylon; and by news of a potentially disastrous plot being planned far away in his homeland, Judea. ..".it is a living epic, full of drama and fascination, with characters, relationships, places and events - transcending definition and transcending time." "A very impressive novel, both in terms of the writing and the subject-matter." Juliette Mitchell, Penguin UK. ..".I received a book as a present. It was Shlomo Kalo's 'The Chosen'. I read this master-piece just as slowly as I could, hoping I would never finish it. The book which is based on the Biblical book of Daniel deals with love: A love of a human being to another human being, of a man to a woman and mainly, with the love of God." Yimna Galore, Maariv newspaper, Israel.
