The Gospel of Satan is a title definitely embarrassing, and above all furviante. He would have respected that original El inquisidor or The Inquisitor, because this is a book centered on the figure of De Angelo Grasso, inquisitor general of Genoa, in the year 1597, Ext is in Rome by Pope Clement VIII, who has entrusted a mission of utmost importance: to retrieve the latest copy of the Necronomicon, a book that seems to have been forbidden dictated by the voice of the Devil and that is a threat to Christianity. To do so must be confessed, by hook or by crook, where the work is hidden dall'eretico Gianmaria Eros, the only one to know. The mission will prove to be not easy for De Grasso, who will sail to the New World and finds himself soon in front with unexpected obstacles, doubts and temptations. The interrogator will know the love and the pleasures of the flesh, will provide clarity about his past and discovers that the Devil has human form.
The Gospel of Satan is an exciting book, often raw, but you do eat, like any self-respecting thriller. A mix of astrology and esotericism, of good and evil, hate and love, sacred and profane, but never blasphemous. The author is Patricio Sturlese (pictured right) , theologian, born in Buenos Aires, but of Italian descent. The Gospel of Satan is his first novel in Argentina and was a best-sellers. RATING: 4 / 5
