Editions and translations
Published in the United States (New York, NY: Random House, 1997). Very popular novel was translated into Spanish (Buenos Aires 1997), Italian (Milan [Italy] 1997), French (Paris 1998), German (Munchen 2000), and other European and non-European languages.
Abstract
The autobiography of Jesus Christ, written by him after his ascension into heaven. The novel opens with his youth as a carpenter, gives his reaction to God's announcement of his mission to save mankind, and describes the terror of the crucifixion. Christ analyzes his two sides--the divine and the human--and recalls his debates with the devil.
