With SARAMAGO expected all need the best. After the clean style of the author, almost Proustian by its very long sentences, paragraphs and its discrete minimalist punctuation, here we are with a curious novel. Saramago has attacked the Bible in seeking to give a different reading of this history, these tragic stories, the founders of our cultural references. The scenario is known in advance, and the reader knows to which Jesus goes end of this novel. But the great strength of Saramago is to have made a "hero" devilishly human, constantly oscillating between events, the irrational, his father, his fathers, good, evil, the devil and the saints, and finally his incompréhesion any human before all the violence necessary for the accomplishment of the divine will. We are far from the Gospel according to Pilate Emmanuel Eric Schmidt, also of high quality, but dodge the mystical dimension on which Saramago based his novel. It is obviously a thousand miles of Da Vinci Code and other romantic fantasies. Saramago is a profound writer, scholar, a narrator who knows instill humor in this exciting life of Jesus from beginning to end and which one emerges with the feeling of not having just read a good novel, but also a masterly analysis of the human condition.
