About “Caim”

Cain is a novel by José Saramago, a Nobel Prize-winning Portuguese author, published in 2009. The book focuses on the Hebrew Bible, continuing Saramago's exploration of religious themes. In his earlier work, The Gospel According to Jesus Christ, Saramago reimagined the life of Jesus, portraying God as the antagonist. Cain extends this approach by centering on the biblical figure of Cain, offering a reexamination of biblical narratives from a critical perspective. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
