This is an automatically translated description

In his new novel, the well-known Ukrainian writer Serhiy Baturyn joins the cohort of those who are still searching for answers to the ancient question: who was the "thief Barabbas" mentioned by all four evangelists? Was he really acquainted with Jesus, and why did the Jerusalem crowd insist on his pardon, and why did the Roman prefect Pontius Pilate have to "wash his hands of him"?

Historical evidence is lacking. And it is possible that everything happened exactly as the author of the book describes it. And yet, the reader is presented with a vivid and truly convincing panorama of the Roman world and barbarian Europe at the beginning of the first millennium AD.
