Synopsis "Cain Gde. Alfaguara (in Spanish)"

Que diablo de Dios es este que para enaltecer a Abel desprecia a Cain. Si en El Evangelio segun Jesucristo Jose Saramago nos dio su vision del Nuevo Testamento en Cain regresa a los primeros libros de la Biblia. En un itinerario heterodoxo recorre ciudades decadentes y establos palacios de tiranos y campos de batalla de la mano de los principales protagonistas del Antiguo Testamento imprimiendole la musica y el humor refinado que caracterizan su obra. Cain pone de manifiesto lo que hay de moderno y sorprendente en la prosa de Saramago: la capacidad de hacer nueva una historia que se conoce de principio a fin. Un ironico y mordaz recorrido en el que el lector asiste a una guerra secular y en cierto modo involuntaria entre el creador y su criatura. Book Trailer
