Unbridled Messiah
商品資訊
商品簡介
When Shabtai Zvi of Smyrna, a 17th Century man of piety, if eccentric and unruly, proclaims himself Messiah, euphoria and devotion ripple through Jewish communities worldwide. Imprisoned for sedition by the Ottomans, Shabtai converts to Islam to escape the death penalty, but his story doesn't end there, as true believers follow their messiah into conversion, creating a unique hybrid religion that survived in secret for centuries, and inspiring Jacob Frank to claim, a century later, to be Shabtai's reincarnation. (The subject of Olga Tokarczuk's Nobel Prize in Literature 2018 winner, The Books of Jacob.)
A work of fiction that melds poetry, prose and play, Unbridled Messiah is constructed from eyewitness accounts, (real and imaginary), letters and historical sources, delivering an extraordinary and spell-binding narrative enlivened by Shinebourne's chorus of Heavenly Sisters, who play with the 'facts', adding irreverent and mischievous interpretations.
Pnina Shinebourne was born in Tel Aviv and now lives in London and teaches psychology at Middlesex University. She is the author of four publications. Her work has won the Flipped Eye Publishing award, the Overton Poetry Prize, the Wasafiri New Writing Prize, the Beyond borders Writing Prize and her short story, A Bird is Fluttering Somewhere in Me, was placed second in the Essex University Short Story Prize, 2021.
Long-listed for the Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize 2020, Unbridled Messiah, is an ambitious, intelligent and inventive exploration of the multiple ways we approach and find salvation.
