LAMB – THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO SCAMPIEL

LAMB – THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO SCAMPIEL

A childhood friend of Jesus, Scabiel, returns from the dead to fill the gap of the first 30 years of Christ's life in the Gospels. The angel who resurrected him takes him to New York to force him to complete this task. So Jesus' outrageous friend brings back memories of their time together, full of miraculous journeys, magic, healing, kung fu, resurrections, demons and hot chicks. And, in all of this, the mission of the Messiah to change the world and to give mankind timeless values.

Like coffee with milk Christopher Moore's book is hilariously original, bursting with good, sometimes dark, humor and has the personal stamp of an author whose first concern may be to entertain the reader, but he doesn't stop there. His unbridled imagination is combined in "The Lamb" with his ability to observe and comment on human nature, and this combination is enriched with humorous comments on friendship, faith and religious pluralism, as well as an unexpected reverence.

LAMB – THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO SCAMPIEL

A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE AUTHOR.

Christopher Moore has managed with his books to create a personal, self-referential universe that makes each of his new writing attempts long-awaited by a wide and loyal readership. Silly angels, zombies and blues-singing marine mammals have occasionally paraded through the pages of his books... Such characters do not leave indifferent readers and critics, who rush to make each of his new releases a best seller.

His writing is a strange and hilarious perspective on the subject he deals with each time, and is inspired by audacity, humor, satire, but also a clear love and respect for what he satirizes. Things Moore likes include cheese crackers, acid jazz, polo with elephants and talking animals on TV. While he loathes salmonella and bad people. He lives on an inaccessible fortress-island in the Pacific.
