In this wonderful
novel written by Jose Saramago, Jesus life is shown in a poetic and sublime way.Quite different from all
the books that show a victorious Jesus, this one keeps the beauty of Jesus process of learning about life, about why he was born and what was his mission on Earth.The story shows us Jesus between the age of twelve till the age of thirty when he starts his ministery.There''s nowhere in the bible that tell us this story. Till the present time Christ''s life is still a big question to almost every historians, preaches and clergymen in general.We have to keep in mind that this book is a
novel and that besides this is a
beautiful story,it''s only a tale and not the truth.The author mention a possible affair between Jesus and Maria Magdala at the age of eighteen, just as well as Jesus encounter with God in the desert (a beautiful passage by the way).
