Description

"It's the 1560s and Antinous Bellori, a boy of eleven, is exploring the woods above his home in the mountains in the north of Italy. After fishing, he happens upon an anthill and begins systematically to torture the ants and destroy their home. Night falls quickly and he is so carried away by the havoc he is wreaking that he loses his sense of time and route home. Fearful, he wanders the woods blindly, sensing danger at every turn, and eventually coming upon a clearing, unseen, in which stand two glowing beings, one carrying a spear, the other a flaming torch ... This event is decisive in Bellori's life and he thereafter devotes himself to the study of angels, and engages with the writings of his great predecessors on the subject in his own On the Nature of Angels. Bellori revisits, expands and renews the key stories from the Bible in which angels - the intermediaries between the human and the divine - loom large: the expulsion from the garden; life in the land of Nod; Cain and Abel; Lot in Sodom; Noah's isolation before the Flood; Ezekiel's prophesying; and the death of Christ. Through the majestic resurrection of these stories the question is asked: can the nature of the divine undergo change?"--BOOK JACKET.
