En una sociedad donde la fe y el dogma han desterrado la raz???n y la ciencia, un sacerdote investiga la muerte de un vicario rural. Gran Breta???a, a???o 1468. El sacerdote Christopher Fairfax llega a una aldea remota enviado por el obispo de Exeter para celebrar el funeral del vicario que acababa de fallecer. El difunto, apasionado coleccionista de artefactos de otras ???pocas, muri??? accidentalmente mientras excavaba en los alrededores. Fairfaix se aloja en la vicar???a y en los aposentos del religioso fallecido descubre una colecci???n de objetos considerados her???ticos, y textos de especialistas en el pasado que sugieren una verdad distinta a la doctrina de la Iglesia, que afirma que el hombre fue castigado con las cuatro plagas: epidemias, guerra, hambruna y muerte tras haberse rendido a la ciencia y a la tecnolog???a. Solo la vuelta a la fe en Cristo salv??? in extremis a la humanidad. Fairfax descubre que la torre junto a la que muri??? el vicario guarda numerosos vestigios de la civilizaci???n perdida, y todas las pruebas apuntan a que alguien los deposit??? all??? pensando en un futuro donde fuera posible reconstruirla. La lectura de los libros her???ticos que ponen en duda el poder omnipotente de Dios y las causas del Apocalipsis, junto con las investigaciones que le sumergen en esa comunidad aislada har???n tambalear la fe y las creencias del joven sacerdote. Todas las civilizaciones se creen invulnerables. La Historia nos advierte de que ninguna lo es. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the bestselling author of Fatherland and the Cicero Trilogy--a chilling and dark new thriller unlike anything Robert Harris has done before. When a local parson of a remote village dies under mysterious circumstances, Christopher Fairfax, a young English priest, is dispatched on horseback from the cathedral city to conduct his burial. His orders are to give the sermon and leave as quickly as possible. But when he arrives in this distant hamlet, haunting questions arise. Why did the parson possess heretical texts? How did he come to own banned ancient relics? Did these possessions lead to his death? Until this moment, Fairfax has never known doubt. His faith in the Church and its teachings has always been unquestioning. But over the next six days, everything he believes and everything we believe--about his faith and the very history of the world--will be tested. An unnerving and enthralling story about a distant time, The Second Sleep is a cautionary tale for today.
