A collection of stories featuring the characters from The Crimson Petal and the White, Michel Faber's 150,000 copy-selling masterpiece
Her triumph will have readers rejoicing' DIANE SETTERFIELD'YA readers will love it, but Faber's brio and bubbly ingenuity will delight adult readers too' DAILY MAIL'In this rather ebullient and lovely new novel by Michel Faber ...
Gennem sprogforskeren Theo Griepenkerl genfortæller Faber den kendte oldgræske myte om Prometheus – guden som bragte menneskeheden ildens gave. Da Theo besøger et udplyndret museum i Irak på udkig efter glemte skatte han kan tage med sig hjem til Canada finder han ni totusind år gamle papyrusruller. Han oversætter straks de aramæiske skrifter som viser sig at være et femte evangelium skrevet af et øjenvidne til Jesu Kristis sidste dage på Jorden. Ildens evangelium er en veloplagt humoristisk og dybt underholdende roman om ordets kraft og dets evne til at tale til os fra en fjern fortid på måder som kan på en gang inspirere og skabe dyb splittelse.
