«Rey Jesús» is the historical novel by Robert Graves, published by Edhasa in hardcover (480 pages, in Spanish).
Based on known facts, the novel addresses dark episodes in the life of Jesus, such as the Massacre of Bethlehem and the Temptation. Graves explores Jesus's humanity, character, feelings and convictions, and questions inherited interpretations by delving into his inner life.
The novel was originally published in English as «King Jesus» in 1946; the Spanish edition, translated by Carlos Peralta, belongs to the Narrativas Históricas collection.
For readers of historical fiction and literary reinterpretations of the figure of Jesus.
Robert Ranke Graves, whose second name is sometimes given as von Ranke, was an English poet, novelist and critic. His father was Alfred Perceval Graves, a celebrated Irish poet and figure in the Gaelic revival; they were both Celticists and students of Irish mythology.
