Author Paul Stephen Trittin displays his book “Jacobus – A Eunuch’s Faith” at the largest book fair in the Arab world

Readers will pick up a renewed perspective on eunuchs as author Paul Stephen Trittin displays his book “Jacobus – A Eunuch’s Faith: The Apprentice” in the United Arab Emirates’ largest book fair in the Arab world. Trittin’s novel tells an arresting story of the titular protagonist Jacobus.
 
In the novel, Jacobus has a twin brother, Josephus, and is sold by his father to his relatives to become an apprentice in the family’s shipping business in Sicily. Josephus is left behind and Jacobus feels distraught at being far from his brother. Yet he will feel excited at the eventuality of seeing the world. As Jacobus spends his first year at sea, he finds his ability to love unconditionally, his belongingness to the extended family he never expects to find, and his curiosity for the new message of an emerging prophet.
 
Jacobus also bonds with anyone as he travels, and he increasingly learns to feel comfortable with the people he meets despite the stigma that outcasts him for being an “uncut eunuch.” As he feels his way out of that indignity, he later learns that his family plots to humiliate him. These messages about a character who lives long before equal rights laws or social justice will surely carry an extra weight to the readers.
 
That is just one aspect of Jacobus’ story. Book enthusiasts will learn more messages about the character as Paul Stephen Trittin features his work at the 2019 Sharjah International Book Fair. Catch this most anticipated event on October 31, 2019 to November 9, 2019 at the Expo Center Sharjah in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. See you there!
