Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt is a world celebrity, perhaps the most widely read and played French author on stage. This is a brilliant and at the same time deep writer who is concerned with fundamental questions of morality and the meaning of life, the theme of death, and religion. We present to the reader’s attention his novel “The Gospel of Pilate” in a version significantly revised by the author. “In a few hours they will come for me. They are already getting ready... The carpenter tenderly strokes the cross on which tomorrow I am destined to shed blood. They are thinking of taking me by surprise... and I am waiting for them.” Three days later, on Easter morning, Pontius Pilate begins the strangest investigation in human history. He is trying to establish where the body of the crucified Yeshua went, because it is impossible to believe that the corpse disappeared without a trace and that people saw the deceased alive.
