SUMMARY:Behold The Man - Michael Moorcock - Part of our BEST OF BRITISH sea
 son
DESCRIPTION:\n\nBehold The Man is part of our BEST OF BRITISH Season.\n\nKa
 rl Glogauer is a disaffected modern professional casting about for meaning
  in a series of half-hearted relationships\, a dead-end job\, and a person
 al struggle. His questions of faith surrounding his father's run-of-the-mi
 ll Christianity and his mother's suppressed Judaism lead him to a bizarre 
 obsession with the idea of the messiah. After the collapse of his latest a
 ffair and his introduction to a reclusive physics professor\, Karl is give
 n the opportunity to confront his obsession and take a journey that no man
  has taken before\, and from which he knows he cannot return.\n\nUpon arri
 ving in Palestine\, A.D. 29\, Glogauer finds that Jesus Christ is not the 
 man that history and faith would like to believe\, but that there is an op
 portunity for someone to change the course of history by making the ultima
 te sacrifice.\n\nFirst published in 1969\, Behold the Man broke through sc
 ience fiction's genre boundaries to create a poignant reflection on faith\
 , disillusion and self-sacrifice. This is the classic novel that establish
 ed the career of perhaps contemporary science fiction's most cerebral and 
 innovative author.\n\n\n\n\n\n
