About the book: 2004 / One of the most famous Swedish writers of the 20th century, Göran Tunström, wrote his story about Jesus Christ. The story is told from the perspective of the main character, a youth from Nazareth. Through his eyes, the reader sees the beauty and torment of the world in which the Jews lived two thousand years ago, exhausted under the burden of Roman rule. This is a novel about the childhood and youth of Jesus Christ - that period of his life, which in the Gospel is shrouded in mystery.
