| 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. |
