Excerpt from The Wane of an Ideal: A Novel But what next? The parish ought to thank me - I help to fertilize their land. It is to me that they owe the juicy artichokes, the gigantic cab bages, the asparagus as thick as a cudgel that they see on their tables.

This book examines the Accademia degli Arcadi in its heyday, a little known phenomenon in Italian history in the first part of the eighteenth century. The Roman academy aimed for a peninsula-wide cultural renewal induced by literary reform. Operating within a papal-court society, it eschewed extant patronage systems and social hierarchies and introduced enlightened ideas to its members. By about 1730, the Arcadi was on the wane, the reform largely unmet. It was an easy target for critics, both its proponents and opponents, in part because of the visible role it assigned to women. By attending to the institution's policies, this book provides a rich understanding of the Arcadi's goals. It locates the organization's interest in theater, including the physical environment of the theatrical drama, as central to its operations.

This book reveals the true story of what was unfolding in the Middle East in the centuries leading up to the emergence of Christianity as accurately as possible. It will upset some, but that is not my goal. The true history of events is always suppressed and this is an attempt to revive the actual story as it occurred, as faithfully as possible. A long-lost prophecy in the Dead Sea Scrolls reveals that Judas Maccabeus was the original Messiah, and he did do amazing things, including liberating Israel from the oppressive Greeks. He gave Israel independence for the first time in 400 years and began a golden period. However, in the centuries to come, the spectre of the Roman army began to manifest. The Jews needed hope and so the prophecy was revamped and extended. This resulted in a whole swathe of messianic contenders and in the 70's AD, after Rome defeated the Jews in a bloody war, a relatively unknown man was extolled as the Messiah. The reason why Jesus was chosen? He was the most Western of all the contenders; he preached tolerance at a time when few Jews would. This suited Rome, and so in Rome, in a foreign tongue, his story was written. A lot of it was made up (I don't say these words lightly, I will prove this). This book answers many more questions too, questions that have vexed us for millennia such as: 'Where is the Garden of Eden?' 'What happened to Noah’s Ark?' 'Who was the first man?' 'Who was the Devil?' The answers will surprise you and they’ll challenge everything that you think you know. We live in dangerous times, when fact is hard to discern from fiction. This book offers a glimmer of truth at a time when this is the rarest of commodities.
