Die Entdeckung des Himmels

The narrative jumps between various periods and characters, which adds depth but can also be disorienting. I wonder if this was planned from the start or developed during writing.

The characters often grapple with complex ethical dilemmas that feel very real. It made me question my own judgments about right and wrong.

The novel delves into questions about destiny and divine intervention—I'm curious whether these ideas stem from Mulisch’s personal beliefs or literary influences.
