But with good rewards. God is angry with his people for discovering DNA and getting close to discovering the source of creation. Quentin, who is arranged to be created by God's angels, is to retrieve and break God's covenent (the tablets of the Ten Commandments) with mankind. NOTE: Recall talking about this book with Jos Van Pee; he had not heard of; MGA tried to interest him." (  ) MGADMJK | Jun 27, 2023 | I could hardly stick to the book and read half of it. I blame it on the translation, but I am not certain. I felt like the author was a little arrogant and inserting pieces of information that he thought would make him appear well read, but the bits and pieces didn't make much sense together. (  ) luciarux | Jul 3, 2022 | The Discovery of Heaven begins with the meeting of Onno and Max, two complicated individuals whom fate has mysteriously and magically brought together, They share responsibility for the birth of a remarkable and radiant boy who embarks on a mandated quest that takes the reader all over Europe and to the land where all such quests begin and end. Abounding in philosophical, psychological and theological inquiries - yet laced with humour that is as infectious as it is wilful - The Discovery of Heaven convinces us that it just might be possible to bring order into the chaos of the world through a story. Daniel464 | Oct 11, 2021 | A pleasant and enjoyable philosophical novel, very funny in parts and with engaging characters. Though it was central to the premise, I was somewhat disappointed with the supernatural turn of the final 100-or-so pages.

"On a cold night in Holland, Max Delius - a hedonist, yet a rhetorically brilliant astronomer who loves fast cars, nice clothes, and women - picks up a hitchhiker, Onno Quist, a cerebral, chaotic philologist who cannot bear the banalities of everyday life. They are like fire and water. But soon after they learn that they were conceived on the same day in 1933, it is clear that something special, even extraordinary, is about to happen." "At the center of their relationship lies the battle between humanistic values and technological progress ... and an especially radiant child, Onno's son, Quinten. Quinten's sublimity - in his beauty, intelligence, and demeanor - becomes even more apparent when, after the heavens conspire against Onno and Max, Quinten embarks on a journey that can only be completed by a child with his incredible gifts." "Abounding in philosophical, psychological, and theological inquires, yet laced with humor that is as infectious as it is wilful, The Discovery of Heaven lingers in the mind long after it has been read, offering itself up to many interpretations over time."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The copy I own is in Dutch, but it is also published in English, and it is really a recommandation! (
