Written in the last years of Saramago's life, Cain is a controversial and witty story of a wilful, authoritarian God. After killing his brother, Cain is condemned to wander the earth. As he moves through time, he encounters moments from the Old Testament - acts of faith, violence and divine judgement that he cannot accept without question. Cain is José Saramago's bold, darkly playful reimagining of a biblical outcast. BRIEF ENCOUNTERS: classic novellas and captivating stories, to be read in a single sitting or savoured over days
