Em 'Caim', Jose Saramago se volta aos primeiros livros da Biblia, do Eden ao diluvio, imprimindo ao Antigo Testamento a musica e o humor que marcam sua obra. Num itinerario heterodoxo, Saramago percorre cidades decadentes e estabulos, palacios de tiranos e campos de batalha, conforme o leitor acompanha uma guerra secular, e de certo modo involuntaria, entre criador e criatura. No trajeto, o leitor revisitara episodios biblicos conhecidos. Para atravessar esse caminho arido, um deus as turras com a propria administracao colocara Caim, assassino do irmao Abel e primogenito de Adao e Eva, num altivo jegue, e cabera a dupla encontrar o rumo entre as armadilhas do pace que insistem em atrai-los. A Caim, que leva a marca do senhor na testa e portanto esta protegido das iniquidades do homem, resta aceitar o destino amargo e compactuar com o criador, a quem nao reserva o melhor dos julgamentos.
