Description
Nobel laureate José Saramago reimagines foundational biblical narratives through the eyes of Caim, the world's first murderer. Banished from Eden after killing his brother Abel, Caim strikes an unlikely bargain with a flawed and often exasperated God, embarking on a sweeping journey across creation. Saramago's signature blend of sharp wit and profound philosophical inquiry guides readers through ancient landscapes, from the Garden of Eden to the brink of the Great Flood. This irreverent retelling offers a unique perspective on the eternal conflict between creator and creation, challenging conventional interpretations of scripture with characteristic irony and dark humor.
