The acclaimed and best-selling author Jean d'Ormesson creates this extremely intelligent, provocative and surprising novel about the origins of the world, and man's limited capacity to understand. In this book within a book, four friends are presented with a manuscript written by the mysterious Simon Laquedem. He believes that he is visited by an angel who tells him that he is the new Abraham, the new Moses, the new Mohammed. Then God speaks to him simply and clearly about the origins of the universe, the big bang, the tragically transient life of mankind, their thoughts and history, the art of knowledge, ambition, love and sex. The four friends think Simon must be crazy or a delirious fool. But why is someone who speaks to God today crazy, and someone who does so from biblical times a prophet? And in this story of visions and uncertain realities, who's manipulating whom? The unexpected answers will still keep you guessing.
Jean d'Ormesson, member of the Académie française, has written several novels including: Une autre histoire de la littérature française (140,000 copies sold) , Voyez comme on dans (170,000 copies sold), Et toi mon cœur pourquoi bats-tu (120,000 copies sold), Une fête en larmes (135,000 copies sold).
