Product Description
In late 1665, Baldassare Embriaco, an antique dealer and one of the last Genoese in the East, sets out from Lebanon, where his family had lived for centuries. The following year, according to the Bible, is the "Year of the Beast." For some, it is outright Armageddon: blood, fire, destruction, and the end of everything... The end of time! The only thing that can save the world and Baldassare is the Hundredth Name. A manuscript that no one has seen, and a name said to be revealed in the book: the hundredth of the ninety-nine names of Allah mentioned in the Quran, which has not been revealed to ordinary mortals... God's secret and sublime name... Following the Hundredth Name, Baldassare's path first takes him to Istanbul; from there to Izmir, Chios, Genoa, Amsterdam, and then to London. He witnesses the devastation of the plague in Konya, the astonishing revolt of Sabbatai Sevi in Izmir, and the Great Fire of London in England. Fear, astonishment, disappointment, hope, and delusion are the milestones of this long journey. And love, which appears before the traveler at the most unexpected moment. Love, the sole source of joy and happiness!..
