Synopsis "A Traveller at the Gates of Wisdom "

Some stories are universal. Some are unique. They play out across human history, and time is the river that flows through them.This story starts with a family. For now, it is a father and a mother with two sons. One with his father’s violence in his blood. One with his mother’s artistry. One leaves. One stays. They will be joined by others whose deeds will determine their fate. It is a beginning. Their stories will intertwine and evolve over the course of two thousand years. They will meet again and again at different times and in different places. From Palestine at the dawn of the first millennium and journeying across fifty countries to a life amongst the stars in the third, the world will change around them, but their destinies remain the same. It must play out as foretold.From the award-winning author of The Heart’s invisible Furies comes The Shadow of My Shadow, an epic tale of humanity.

John Boyne (Dublin, Ireland, 1971) is a distinguished Irish author, globally recognized for his moving novel The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, an editorial phenomenon translated into almost 40 languages and adapted into film, with more than 5 million copies sold. Educated at Trinity College and the University of East Anglia, Boyne debuted with "The Thief of Time", establishing himself in the literary scene with works like The Congress of Rough Riders and Crippen. His narrative, which alternates between adult and young adult audiences, explores historical and human themes with sensitivity, as demonstrated by Stay Where You Are & Then Leave and The Absolutist. Awarded with prizes such as the IMPAC, the Irish Novel of the Year, and the Gustav Heinemann Peace Prize, Boyne remains an essential voice in contemporary literature, combining commercial success with thematic depth.
