Sacred Texts or Ancient Fantasy Fiction? Perhaps Both!
In 1969, former professor Matteo Dericci is summoned to examine a mysterious chest unearthed in Pompeii-seventy-six leather-bound volumes bearing the seal of the Library of Alexandria and a name no scholar can explain: Horus Merakos.
As he begins translating one of the texts, Matteo is drawn into a forbidden narrative set in ancient Alexandria during the reign of King Soter and his son Philadelphus. A grand library is being built-one that promises to gather all knowledge of the world. But beneath the splendor of temples and palaces, a darker force stirs.
A blind priest.
A deaf priesthood.
A king seeking "only the truth, and the truth only."
And a mysterious figure claiming to be Prometheus-witness of creation, prisoner of the gods, bringer of fire, and preacher of a truth humanity was never meant to hear.
As past and present intertwine, Matteo begins to confront a terrifying possibility:
Either Alexandria was the most radically free civilization in history-
or the story he is translating is not myth, not allegory... but real.
Blending historical fiction, mythology, theological speculation, and philosophical mystery, The Lost Books of the Library of Alexandria is a daring literary epic that challenges everything we think we know about gods, truth, and the origin of stories.
