A Christian Orthodox Classic
Emesa is a city of secrets, and none is stranger than the arrival of Simeon, a wanderer wrapped in rags and laughter, known to the city's beggars and outcasts simply as "the Fool." Behind his eccentric acts and cryptic words lies a mystery-one that unsettles Emesa's darkest alleys and most guarded hearts.
Inspired by the life of Saint Simeon the Fool for Christ, this novel follows Simeon as he returns from thirty years in the wilderness, bringing with him a disruptive, divine purpose. While the people of Emesa mock his madness, they cannot deny the inexplicable changes he brings. Healing wounds that no doctor could touch and setting free those bound by inner demons, Simeon's presence stirs whispers of miracles-and madness.
Savatie Bastovoi's The Fool is a haunting tale of hidden holiness, spiritual rebellion, and the lengths to which one soul will go to reveal the mystery of divine love. Step into Emesa, and discover that not all who appear mad are lost.
