Samenvatting:

He has lived for two thousand years. He has finally decided to talk.In The Testimony of Cain, the world met a man who cannot die. Now Cain takes up his pen.Through a series of letters to the scholar who first told his story, Cain describes the lives he lived between the headlines of history - the centuries no testimony ever recorded. From the orange courtyards of Córdoba to a Paris bakery in the rain, from the Viking borderlands of Saxon England to the tax offices of Damascus and the smoke above a burning library, he writes of love affairs that should never have begun, debts that should never have come due, and mistakes a thousand years in the making.He shares wine with a caliph. He buries gold with a Viking. He teaches a future king something about courage, argues theology with men who are far too certain, and listens to an old fisherman describe a carpenter from Galilee. Kings come to him to lose weight and end up losing thrones. And everywhere he goes, he bakes bread - which, he insists, is always improving.These are not the stories of a wise man. They are the stories of a man who was alive, which is a far more dangerous thing, and considerably more embarrassing.Five countries. Two thousand years. One immortal with nothing left to lose but the truth.
