Overview

The Book of Revelation is a novel by UK author Rupert Thomson. The book was published in 2000 by Bloomsbury Publishing and has 264 pages. The novel was unusual for its detailed descriptions of a non statutory female on male rape. The protagonist of the novel is a male ballet dancer living in Amsterdam with his French girlfriend Brigitte. One day he is drugged and abducted in an alley by three hooded women. They hold him prisoner in an abandoned warehouse for about two weeks. During the course of his incarceration he endeavours to keep his mind separate from the abuse that is systematically inflicted on his body (involving two of the women raping him). In 2006 the book was made into a film by Ana Kokkinos. In the novel the narrator is never named explicitly. In the film adaptation the character is called "Daniel." Anna Torv, the actress who depicts his girlfriend (an Australian named Bridget in this version) also plays the role of one of his captors, although Kokkinos said that this had not been intended as more than a doubling-up. The audience is not supposed to see it as a suggestion that Bridget was one of Daniel's captors. 2000 British novels Novels set in Amsterdam British novels adapted into films Bloomsbury Publishing books Novels about rape

Notable quotes

“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.”
— 1:7
“ἀλλὰ ἔχω κατὰ σοῦ ὅτι τὴν ἀγάπην σου τὴν πρώτην ἀφῆκες.”
— I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love (agape) you had at first.
“Οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα, ὅτι ὄνομα ἔχεις ὅτι ζῇς, καὶ νεκρὸς εἶ. γίνου γρηγορῶν, καὶ στήρισον τὰ λοιπὰ ἃ ἔμελλον ἀποθανεῖν·”
— I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die.
“I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "Two pounds of wheat for a day's wages, and six pounds of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"”
— NIV, 6:6, KJV
“I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.”
— 14:14-15
“And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.”
— 19:19-20
