Description

“The Discovery of Heaven” is the masterpiece of Dutch writer Harry Mulisch. This monumental novel is at once psychological and philosophical, adventurous and mystical, while also presenting a historical chronology. The story portrays an invisible communication between the Kingdom of Heaven and the inhabitants of Earth. Humanity has ultimately angered God, and now, because of all their sins, He intends to return the Ten Commandments to Heaven so that Earth remains forever out of Satan’s grasp. Only the Chosen One—born through a complex chain of trials and reflections—can find the stone tablets of the Commandments and bring them to Paradise.
