Description
Jose Saramago revisits the foundational narratives of the Old Testament in this provocative and darkly humorous exploration of faith and doubt. Following the biblical figures from Adam and Eve to the titular Cain, the novel embarks on an unorthodox journey through ancient landscapes, confronting tyranny and the origins of violence. With his signature blend of philosophical inquiry and lyrical prose, Saramago challenges conventional interpretations, offering a profound meditation on the human condition and the complex relationship between humanity and the divine.
