«El infinito en la palma de la mano» is the literary novel by Gioconda Belli, published by Seix Barral in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
The starting point is the biblical story of Adam and Eve, but the novel expands it by imagining what life would be like for the first couple in a newly created world: the discovery of their surroundings, their bewilderment at punishment, the power to give life and the need to kill to survive. It also addresses love and jealousy among their children.
The work was awarded the Biblioteca Breve Prize 2008 and the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize; it belongs to the Biblioteca Breve collection from Seix Barral.
For readers of literary fiction interested in reinterpretations of biblical myths and in literature by Central American women authors.
Gioconda Belli is a Nicaraguan-born novelist and poet known for her contributions to Nicaraguan literature.
