«La Terre Sainte» is the novel by Pär Lagerkvist, published by Stock in paperback (106 pages, in French).
Two pilgrims, Tobias and Giovanni, are left abandoned in a strange land of stone at the edge of the Holy Land, among the ruins of a pagan temple and figures reminiscent of the Bible. Through allegory, Lagerkvist explores the meaning of human life, the existence of God and the role of evil, in a poetic narrative that achieves a superior serenity.
Third volume of the trilogy formed by «La Mort d'Ahasverus» and «Pèlerin sur la mer»; the novel was originally published in 1985.
Pär Fabian Lagerkvist was a Swedish author who received the 1951 Nobel Prize in Literature.
