of litera

My favorite book is called The Old Man and Mr. Smith. It's by Peter Ustinov.

It was published in 1990 y It was traslated into Spanish by Cesar Armando Gomez in 1991.

It's by the same writer as a story that will never happen but even so It is still exciting to think that could ever happen.

The story is very interesting and fascinating. It's about the old man and Mr. Smith are the most amazing couple of literary fiction. this is none other than God an Satan in an investigative mission on planet earth, but these two old adversaries have somewhat lost touch with what happened in the modern world, and they are soon seen in a thousand troubles.

They were arrested by the FBI for forgery. (God has a little trick that makes it appear the new banknotes of hundred dollars). they are quick to escape and their visit all the earth will escape them.

After they meet with a TV preacher who  refuses to believe he has God and The Devil live in his program, the protagonists embark on a quick trip around the world that take them to Russia, Israel, China and, finally, India where a group of holy men recognize them.

Both end up surprising mutual esteem taken towards the end of their trip, and old wounds are forgotten and forgiven.

The story is brillant because the book is notable primarity for its central characters. The old, tired and forgetful but very worried about his creation, is a God adorable, funny and somewhat fallible. Mr. Smith is always annoyed and restless, he turns out to be a devil of most human.

Another thing I really liked was as both characters as opponents came to love and forgive.

I would recommend it to anyone who likes science fiction stories,
