Description

Joseph of Arimathea finds Jesus living after the crucifixion and brings him to an Essene community beside the brook Kerith. Away from the city crowds, the two men face recovery, hard questions about faith, and a quieter kind of discipleship. Moore retells the Gospel path as Syrian story: tenderness, doubt, and the long work of belief after public violence. A contemplative novel of conscience and spiritual rebuilding.

Author

George Moore (1852–1933) was the Irish novelist who brought French naturalism into English fiction and never quite stopped arguing with Ireland about it. Trained among the painters and writers of Paris, he wrote of art, desire, and the stubborn facts of ordinary life — servants, theatres, and consciences under pressure. Esther Waters remains his most durable novel: a story of a working woman's endurance told without Victorian flinch.
