Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

L'Évangile du serpent (English: The Gospel of the Serpent) is a thriller written by Pierre Bordage, published by Au Diable Vauvert in 2001. A modern reinterpretation of the Gospels, it tells the story of Vaï Ka’i, a prophet with healing powers, through the accounts of four people who cross his path: Mathias, Marc, Lucie, and Yann. Vaï Ka’i endangers the Western life model and becomes “the man to bring down” for French political, religious, and financial leaders. L'Évangile du serpent is Pierre Bordage’s first novel outside the science fiction genre. It develops themes of spirituality opposed to religion and nomadism, using the symbolism of the serpent as a backdrop. The author expresses his affinity for shamanism and non-religious spirituality in this book. He adopts a unique narrative structure, with four main characters whose actions are recounted in turn. The book received a very mixed critical reception, particularly due to its portrayal of Western civilization. It was awarded the Bob Morane Prize for Best French-Language Novel in 2002.
