ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY NON-FICTION TITLE
FROM ENVELOPEBOOKS
Lost Levant is the chronicle of a journey through the Eastern Mediterranean region in 2003, woven into an intellectual quest for universal humanism and a philosophy of liberation. Against the backdrop of the Second Iraq War, the narrator travels from London to Mount Ararat, writing up his encounters along the way in a series of vignettes which echo the tradition of ancient epics from The Odyssey to The Epic of Gilgamesh, and which frame the journey as a modern pilgrimage through lands steeped in history and cultural significance. The journey also becomes a backdrop for a set of essays in which the author visits ancient sites and ideas, applying a modern lens to topics such as theology, politics and economics.
