De Wonderen van den Antichrist by Selma Lagerlöf
"De Wonderen van den Antichrist" by Selma Lagerlöf is a fictional narrative written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes related to religion, prophecy, and the human condition, centering on the intriguing juxtaposition between the figure of Christ and the Antichrist. The narrative introduces characters like Emperor Augustus and a Sibyl, who foresees events that intertwine their stories with themes of faith and moral dilemmas. At the start of the
work, the scene is set during a dark and silent night in ancient Rome, as Emperor Augustus heads to the Capitol to perform a night offering. Accompanied by trusted followers, they encounter a mysterious Sibyl whose prophecies foreshadow the arrival of the Antichrist, who is described as resembling Christ. The tension builds as the Sibyl experiences a vision involving shepherds and a divine child, establishing a connection between earthly struggles and heavenly promises. The opening establishes a mystical atmosphere and sets the stage for the exploration of faith, power, and the moral struggles of humanity throughout the story.
