À propos de cet audio

A wry, fictional account of the life of Christ by Nobel laureate Jose Saramago.

A brilliant skeptic, Jose Saramago envisions the life of Jesus Christ and the story of his Passion as things of this earth: A child crying, the caress of a woman half asleep, the bleat of a goat, a prayer uttered in the grayish morning light. His idea of the Holy Family reflects the real complexities of any family, and, as only Saramago can, he imagines them with tinges of vision, dream, and omen.

The result is a deft psychological portrait that moves between poetry and irony, spirituality and irreverence of a savior who is at once the Son of God and a young man. In this provocative, tender novel, the subject of wide critical discussion and wonder, Saramago questions the meaning of God, the foundations of the Church, and human existence itself.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Fiction that engages the mind as much as the spirit as, in eloquently supple prose, it seeks to understand faith." ( Kirkus Reviews)

A very controversial book, written in a very catholic country, in very conservative times. The author Jose Saramago got death threats for writing this book - there was a price on his head. He was exiled and fled to Spain. Mr. Jose Saramago won the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature. He’s Portugal’s Margaret Atwood.

A Portuguese Classic by a classic author!
