A philosophical and theological inspiration text.

The second volume of Ender's Game, a good novel is largely a philosophical and theological inspiration text.

Humanity discovers a new species in space, it's a bit annoying because on them, we talk throughout the text of "pigs" (the Piggies).
I find it supremely improbable and swelling. They are partly a metaphor but hey it's still blowing ...

Their life cycle and reproduction created by the author is against fabulously inventive, and for what is down on paper, their extreme otherness.
So overall a strong and attractive universe despite the unfortunate words (a Hispanic partly vocabulary that comes a little like a hair in the soup) ......

With a Doryphores Xenocide was committed by Ender (really?), A second he will be implemented preventively with Piggies?
The exploration of this culture and this species is a mode Las Casas so with a small side ", A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies", with the mobilization of the scandal surrounding the potential massacre which n ' is not "human" or humanizable and is perfected by nature with what is human. The ethical questions that this situation, the tension raises and calls, in thought as in deed is the main theme of the text corpus.

However the themes of "humanists" often universal, evoked in the novel are well rooted in the Mormon culture author: good / evil invoked on a dramatized fashion, the shadow of the living nature of death and the dead, the special distrust of the Catholic church, the spontaneous character of the individual divine revelations, the fundamental nature of marriage (on earth as in heaven and the afterlife), a taste for martyrdom, and thematic "Jobiennes" and almost ontological valuation of guilt.
In fact many of the theology of the Latter-day Saints Of inspires or colors, this novel shines strongly enough and proposals from the title, even philosophical propositions around the good and evil and of human nature, with its many through and failures ...

This is ultimately an eschatological vision nothing, labored vision, complicated and perilous, cohabitation of two otherness, even extreme opposable ...
Finally, many themes present in the culture and in the Mormon imagination.

A walk on a world far different from ours, mysterious enough with dramatic challenges. I like but this can break the legs, but it is nevertheless a rich and living text.
