The King Who Came: A Tale Of The Great Revolt is a historical fiction novel written by Joseph William Sharts and published in 1913. The book is set during the Great Revolt, a Jewish uprising against Roman rule in Judea in the first century AD. The story follows the journey of a young Jewish boy named Simon, who witnesses the brutal oppression of his people by the Romans and dreams of a king who will come to save them. As Simon grows up, he becomes involved in the rebellion and meets the charismatic leader, Bar Kochba. Together, they fight against the Roman army and attempt to establish an independent Jewish state. However, as the rebellion becomes more violent and desperate, Simon begins to question the morality of their actions and the true intentions of Bar Kochba. The King Who Came explores themes of faith, loyalty, and the price of freedom. It also provides a vivid depiction of the historical events and cultural context of the Great Revolt. The book has been praised for its engaging storytelling and historical accuracy, and is recommended for readers interested in Jewish history and ancient Rome.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
