A narcissistic God, endowed with an exceptionally flexible conscience that agrees with him no matter what he does, and an early rebel, Cain, are the protagonists of José Saramago's most enjoyable novel, which would turn out to be his last.
The Bible, one of the wildest books ever written and which, according to the famous Nobel laureate author, should never fall into the hands of children, is rewritten by him with an unpredictable ending, providing the opportunity for a thrilling dialogue between God and man.
Furthermore, ‘the history of humanity is the history of their misunderstandings with God - neither does He understand us, nor do we understand Him’. [Excerpt from the text on the back cover of the edition]
