Description

The Lost Song of Goliath is an imaginative retelling of one of the most famous stories in the world -- the bitter struggle between the ancient Israelites and Philistines, culminating in the combat between David and Goliath. But this retelling is different. The Lost Song of Goliath dramatically transforms the traditional version of this epic by telling it from the viewpoint of Goliath. Goliath's story has not yet been told, although he is a literary character begging for an author to give him a voice. Neither monster nor freak, Goliath leads a full, flawed human existence, with both success and deep disappointment, both love and heartbreaking loss. The reader follows Goliath as he navigates his way through changing, challenging circumstances, from suspenseful conflict on the battlefield to sensual idylls with his lover. Ultimately, Goliath is confronted with the need to make a profound decision -- a decision which may determine his fate and the fate of his people. A triumph of vivid, creative storytelling, The Lost Song of Goliath, with its underlying message of the futility of war, is the tale of David and Goliath retold for our time.
