Description
Written in the last years of José Saramago’s life, this controversial and witty story portrays a wilful, authoritarian God. After killing his brother, Cain is condemned to wander the earth. As he moves through time, he encounters moments from the Old Testament—acts of faith, violence and divine judgement that he cannot accept without question. This is Saramago’s bold, darkly playful reimagining of a biblical outcast. Part of the Brief Encounters series of classic novellas and captivating stories, it can be read in a single sitting or savoured over several days.
