description: The dramatic story of Simon Peter, is set on the shores of Galilee, he crossroads of the world--a polyglot world of quarreling, scheming peoples, warring then as they are today.Lloyd C. Douglas has taken his characters from this world: Simon, the Big Fisherman, two-fisted and profane, who lays down his nets in a momentous act of faith; Fara, half Judean and half Arabian, bent on an errand of vengeance; and Voldi, the young Arabian prince who takes up Fara's vendetta when she is purged of her hate.In The Big Fisherman, the characters in the greatest story in Western culture live in three dimensions.Only the man who wrote The Robe could have written The Big Fisherman.
