Historia

Harry Kurt Victor Mulisch (1927–2010) was a Dutch writer. He wrote more than 80 novels, plays, essays, poems, and philosophical reflections. Mulisch's works have been translated into over thirty languages. Along with Willem Frederik Hermans and Gerard Reve, Mulisch is considered one of the "Great Three" (De Grote Drie) of Dutch postwar literature. His novel The Assault (1982) was adapted into a film that won both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award. A 2007 poll of NRC Handelsblad readers voted his novel The Discovery of Heaven (1992) the greatest Dutch book ever written. He was regularly mentioned as a possible future Nobel laureate. He won the 2007 International Nonino Prize in Italy. A frequent theme in his work is the Second World War. His father had worked for the Germans during the war and went to prison for three years afterwards. As the war spanned most of Mulisch's formative phase, it had a defining influence on his life and work. In 1963, he wrote a non-fiction work about the Eichmann case: Criminal Case 40/61.

Original Story
Dios quiere recuperar los Diez Mandamientos originales. Sin embargo, no se le permite a ningún ángel viajar a la Tierra para conseguirlos. Los ángeles tienen que “crear” a un ser humano que sea lo suficientemente inteligente como para encontrar las Tablas de la Ley; alguien que esté dispuesto a sacrificar su vida con el fin de restituir las Tablas al Cielo. Así que los ángeles idean un plan ingenioso, a la vez que despiadado, para lograr su objetivo. El plan toma forma cuando en la Tierra se encuentran dos hombres, aparentemente por casualidad. Uno de ellos es Onno Quist, un lingüista excéntrico, hijo de un antiguo Primer Ministro. El otro es Max Delius, hijo de un padre nazi y de una madre judía.
