The angel agrees, and although Eve swears to Adam that she offered the angel nothing in return, their first child is suspiciously blond and fair-skinned. ![]() En Caín el autor nos expone su visión sobre el viejo testamento. After Adam and Eve have been cast out of Eden, Eve decides to go back and ask the angel guarding the gate if he can give her some of the fruit that is going to waste inside. Para que Abel pueda ser admirable, la tarea de este malvado Dios tuvo que ser hundir a Caín. The stories in this book are witty and provocative. Written in the last years of Saramago's life, it tackles many of the moral and logical non sequiturs created by a wilful, authoritarian God, and forms part of Saramago's long argument with religion. Two decades after Portuguese novelist and Nobel Laureate José Saramago shocked the religious world with his novel The Gospel According to Jesus Christ, he has done it again with Cain, a satire of the Old Testament. Saramago juxtaposes an eminently readable narrative of work and poverty, class and desire, knowledge and timelessnessone in which God, too, as he faces Cain in the wake of Noahs Ark, emerges as far more human than expected. ![]()
