Fawcett, New York. 6th trade paperback printing. Condition: Very good plus, light edge and corner wear, slight spine creasing."Theroux's work is distinguished by a splendid eye for detail and the telling gesture; a storyteller's sense of pacing and gift for granting closure to the most subtle progression of events; and the graceful use of language. . . . We are delighted, along with Theroux, by the politeness of the Turks, amazed by the mountainous highlands in Syria, touched by the gesture of an Albanian waitress who will not let him pay for his modest meal. . . . The Pillars of Hercules [is] engrossing and enlightening from start (a damning account of tourists annoying the apes of Gibraltar) to finish (an utterly captivating visit with Paul Bowles in Tangier, worth the price of the book all by itself)." - Chicago Tribune

Palgrave Macmillan, New York, 2003. First edition. Condition: Very good plus softcover, light edge wear, price sticker on rear cover.From the publisher: In this controversial book, Dr. Thiede focuses on what are, perhaps, the most enigmatic ancient documents ever found - the Dead Sea Scrolls. Drawing on his own pioneering methods in restoring the scrolls, Thiede reveals that the Essene library represented by the scrolls demonstrates that the first Christians were essentially a Jewish movement, not a radically new and fundamentally different religion. This perspective clearly has major implications: it affects both how we view the scrolls, and it changes how we consider the history of first-century Christianity.
