About This Novel

Tarwater, a boy whose parents both died, was stolen as a baby by his uncle, a fanatical Christian, and raised in the wilderness as a successor to the prophet. After the death of the old man, he returned to his uncle's house in the city and tried hard to deny his destiny as a prophet. However, he was influenced by the unknown power in his heart and fell into religious madness. He also committed violent crimes. On the one hand, the writer shows us the distortion of human nature caused by Christianity. The life picture of blind and devout believers has become confused, stubborn, and absurd in the face of the impact of modern education, technology, and civilization. On the other hand, regardless of whether they are religious or not, the violence and self-destructive tendencies hidden in individuals have contributed to the mutual inacceptance and intolerance of family members, leading to the ultimate tragedy.
