VINTAGE CLASSICS : CAIN PB B FORMAT

After killing his brother Abel, Cain must wander for ever. He witnesses Noahs ark, the destruction of the Tower of Babel, Moses and the golden calf. He is there in time to save Abraham from sacrificing Isaac when Gods angel arrives late after a wing malfunction. Written in the last years of Saramagos life, Cain wittily tackles many of the moral and logical non sequiturs created by a wilful, authoritarain God, forming part of Saramagos long argument with God and recalling his provocative novel The Gospel According to Jesus Christ.
