Michel Tournier, Methuen. Condition remarks: Condition: Good to fair. Jacket: No dust jacket - paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner. A luminous work of historical fiction, The Four Wise Men reimagines the biblical journey of the Magi with dazzling originality and philosophical depth. Michel Tournier chronicles the odyssey of three kings - Gaspar, Balthazar, and Melchior - alongside a fourth, Taor, a prince of Mangalore who sets out in search of a legendary sweet and arrives too late for the Nativity. Each king's journey becomes a profound meditation on desire, identity, and spiritual transformation, with Tournier weaving together the sacred and the sensual in his characteristically bold style. Widely praised as a true masterpiece by the New Statesman, this novel stands as one of the great retellings of the Christian story, infused with the wit and erudition that established Tournier as one of France's foremost literary voices.
