内容简介
He was born Samson ben Manoah
in the hills of Palestine. His parents
were told the boy was chosen for a
special purpose--to begin to deliver
Israel fi-om the hands of her con-
querors. He must not drink; he must
not cut his hair. If he obeyed his call-
ing, when the time came he would be
strong, awesomely strong--and his
strength would lead the Israelites to
victory against the Philistines in the
first recorded guerrilla war in his-
tory.
But with Samson s strength of body
came weakness of the flesh: as a boy
he loved a servant girl, but that
brought bitter tragedy. As a man
Samson was unconquerable in war
and in love--until he met Delilah.
David Bolt has retold a classic story
with astonishing richness and au-
thenticity. His book is the best kind of
deeply researched historical fiction,
teeming with the lushness, eroticism
and brutality of the ancient world.
Ten years in the writing, SAMSON is
a brilliant panoramic tale of love, be-
trayal and revenge.
