Narration Supposing Books Caim

Neste novo romance, o vencedor do prêmio Nobel José Saramago reconta episódios bíblicos do Velho Testamento sob o ponto de vista de Caim, que, depois de assassinar seu irmão, trava um incomum acordo com deus e parte numa jornada que o levará do jardim do Éden aos mais recônditos confins da criação.
Se, em O Evangelho segundo Jesus Cristo, José Saramago nos deu sua visão do Novo Testamento, neste Caim ele se volta aos primeiros livros da Bíblia, do Éden ao dilúvio, imprimindo ao Antigo Testamento a música e o humor refinado que marcam sua obra. Num itinerário heterodoxo, Saramago percorre cidades decadentes e estábulos, palácios de tiranos e campos de batalha, conforme o leitor acompanha uma guerra secular, e de certo modo involuntária, entre criador e criatura. No trajeto, o leitor revisitará episódios bíblicos conhecidos, mas sob uma perspectiva inteiramente diferente.
Para atravessar esse caminho árido, um deus às turras com a própria administração colocará Caim, assassino do irmão Abel e primogênito de Adão e Eva, num altivo jegue, e caberá à dupla encontrar o rumo entre as armadilhas do tempo que insistem em atraí-los. A Caim, que leva a marca do senhor na testa e portanto está protegido das iniquidades do homem, resta aceitar o destino amargo e compactuar com o criador, a quem não reserva o melhor dos julgamentos. Tal como o diabo de O Evangelho, o deus que o leitor encontra aqui não é o habitual dos sermões: ao reinventar o Antigo Testamento, Saramago recria também seus principais protagonistas, dando a eles uma roupagem ao mesmo tempo complexa e irônica, cujo tom de farsa da narrativa só faz por acentuar.

Appraise About Books Caim

I get Saramago's genius. Way late*, yeah, but I FINALLY GET IT...!(cue to me running barefoot downhill, waving arms, surrendering to literary genius at long last)Sacrilegious, funny--the prose finally twines itself with my alert reader's sensitivity... the cascade of commas, the deficit of paragraphs, capitalizations, periods: all the magician's tricks finally seem to me to be EARNED. Previously, I've been uninspired by "The History of the Siege of Lisbon" and "The Double": the acrobatics

Cain kills his brother Abel in a fit of jealousy and is forced to wander the earth in penance. This book shows us what Cain did next. We see him pass through many of the key events of the Old Testament. He is there for example at the testing of Job, the razing of the walls of Jericho and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.Throughout he is in dialogue with God. He understands not how the God of love and justice can be capricious, spiteful, jealous and uncaring - or as Tim Minchin memorably put

The Mark of CAIN Saramago. .I enjoyed revisiting Genesis accompanying Saramagos Cain. With this rebellious murderer who, after all, is a man who seeks justice, we are offered to time-travel with him through that first Book of Everything. We jump forwards and jump backwards in the genesis narrative, and every time there is a change in gear the reader is given a jolt. And a new breath and freshness sweeps over this reverted genesis.Saramagos Cain is a disappointed man. And it is his

A Portuguese MidrashSaramagos Cain is a traditional Midrash, a meditative, speculative commentary on the Torah, the first five books of the Jewish and Christian bibles. Despite its often comedic, mostly polemic assessment of the God of the Torah, conventionally ascribed to Moses, Saramago isnt the first or the most strident critic to take seriously the personality of Yahweh and what it might imply for humanity and the rest of creation. The most remarkable aspect of the work isnt its content but



Exactly my cup of tea. Wish it was longer though, that is the main complaint I have about this book. The writing style was a little odd at the beginning, but I got used to it pretty quickly (to the weird format of dialogue in the book, especially). our god, the creator of heaven and earth, is completely mad I think that this quote summarizes the book perfectly. If you're in a mood for reading slightly blasphemous, but yet funny and thought-provoking book with just above 150 pages, look no

Cain killed Abel, but instead of starting on the roads under the curse of God, he prefers to rebel. This is not his fault that he killed his brother but that of God because he has not deigned to accept the offerings of Cain. God condemned to wander through time and experience the great events of sacred history. He attends, among others, the sacrifice of Abraham, Sodom and Gomorrah, the worshipers of the golden calf ... or even the construction of Noah's Ark and leaving the flooded Earth.Each of
