Sussex News – Ben-Hur is big inspiration for local author
By Phil Hewitt
Crawley author Luigi Andrea Kohli is in print with Aletheia Vol 1 In The Shadows and Aletheia Vol 2 The Binds Of Fate (Troubador Publishing).
Luigi, aged 60, said: “Since my early teens I have loved to read and to go to the cinema, enthralled and captivated by the power of story-telling to change the world we live in, whether through the recounting of history, tales of fiction with a strong resonance to issues of the day, or better yet something that combines the two to dramatic effect. At least this is my fervent belief. In this respect I am perhaps a foolish and hopeless romantic. Maybe it is for this reason that I was drawn at a young age to the movie epics of the 50’s and 60’s where dialogue and a good script had to take centre stage as there was no such thing as CGI, nor the blue-screen magic we have today.
“And at the top of my list – Ben-Hur A Tale of The Christ. The moving music, the story telling and a great script, the acting which I still feel today was with genuine passion and feeling.”
“My book is set in the first century AD, a moment in time when the Roman empire was reaching its peak and weaves the people and the grey events of history into a tale to explain two of history’s biggest mysteries. Why was Pontius Pilate, notorious to this very day, written out of the records as if he never existed (save in passages of the bible which historians do not consider a record of historical events), and how did the teachings of one man survive at a time of gods, a plethora of prophets and huge civil unrest in Rome’s eastern province?
