El Regne

El Regne continues Carrère's distinctive blend of autofiction, historical inquiry, and personal reflection, a style he has honed in books like Limonov and The Adversary. While those often focus on contemporary or recent figures, El Regne delves into ancient history, applying his characteristic investigative and introspective approach to the origins of Christianity.

The book is deeply rooted in historical research concerning the early days of Christianity, particularly focusing on the Apostle Paul and other foundational figures. Carrère meticulously examines biblical texts and historical scholarship, intertwining these findings with his own experiences and interpretations.
