Description

The Development of Heaven, Harry Mulisch's magnum opus, is just a rich variety of twentieth century upheaval by which several themes— companionship, commitment, family, art, engineering, faith, destiny, great, and evil— suffuse a suspenseful and resplendent story. The tale starts with the assembly of Max and Onno, two complex people whom destiny has magically and mysteriously delivered together. They share responsibility for the delivery of the amazing and glowing child who embarks on the required mission that requires the reader all over Europe and to the property where all such missions start and finish. Abounding in theological, psychological and philosophical queries, however laced with wit that's as contagious as it's willful, The Discovery of Heaven remains in your brain long after it's been read.
