Overview

La madrugada de un domingo de Pascua, una madre recorre las calles de Fond-Zombi y un bebé abandonado llora entre las pezuñas de una mula. Ya adulto, Pascal es atractivo, mestizo sin saberse de dónde y sus ojos son tan verdes como la mar antillana. Vive con su familia adoptiva, pero el misterio de su existencia no tarda en hacer mella en su interior. ¿Cuál es su origen? ¿Qué se espera de él? Los rumores vuelan por la isla. Se dice que cura a los enfermos, que lleva a cabo pescas milagrosas… Se dice que es hijo de dios, pero ¿de cuál? Profeta sin mensaje, mesías sin salvación, Pascal se enfrenta a los grandes misterios de este mundo: racismo, explotación y globalización se funden con sus propias vivencias en un relato lleno de belleza y fealdad, de amor y desamor, de esperanza y derrota.

One Easter Sunday, Madame Ballandra puts her hands together and exclaims: “A miracle!” Baby Pascal is strikingly beautiful, brown in complexion, with gray-green eyes like the sea. But where does he come from? Is he really the child of God? So goes the rumor, and many signs throughout his life will cause this theory to gain ground. From journey to journey and from one community to another, Pascal sets off in search of his origins, trying to understand the meaning of his mission. Will he be able to change the fate of humanity? And what will the New World Gospel reveal? For all its beauty, vivacity, humor, and power, Maryse Condé’s latest novel is above all a work of combat. Lucid and full of conviction, Condé attests that solidarity and love remain our most extraordinary and lifesaving forces.
