Description
Saramago's Jesus is the son not of God but of Joseph. Mary Magdalene is his lover not his convert. In the wilderness he tussles not with the Devil û a kindly and necessary evil û but with God, a fallible, power-hungry autocrat. And he must die not for the sins of the father but for the sins of the Father. By investigating these simple inversions Saramago has woven a dark parable, a secular gospel of astonishing richness and depth.
