Very well-written and intensely intriguing. A must-read!

The Discovery of Heaven is indeed one of the best works of fiction I have ever read, with an intricately fashioned plot, and characters that come to life, making you wish that you could share in the friendship that exists between Max Delius and Onno Quist. The story guides you on a quest throughout Europe, eventually leading you to one of the greatest treasures mankind will ever know. It presents scenarios that inspire love, hate, sorrow, joy, and a multitude of others that draw you in from page one! Being a theologian, it was difficult, if not angersome, to come to terms with several of the religious aspects of the novel, but that's what great literature does--it inspires emotion. This book exceeds that goal. After reading this novel--and I hope you do lest you miss out on one of the greatest masterpieces of the century--you will have found that The Discovery of Heaven is truly the discovery of a lifetime.

Bewildering, Mysterious.

I consider myself an avid reader. Harry Mulisch's "De Ontdekking van de Hemel" seized my attention like no other work of 20th century European fiction, except perhaps Thomas Mann's "Der Zauberberg". Not bad company.

NOVEL WILL BE FILMED

GREAT NEWS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WHERE WONDERD BY THIS BOOK. A DUTCH CINIACT AND INTERNATIONAL CAST ARE GOOING TO FILM THIS NOVEL!

International & very Dutch as well

'De ontdekking van de hemel' is strong enough to read in a translation. Although the story covers also a period in Dutch political and cultural history, it is also for international readers very interesting. Harry Mulisch created a 'cliffhanger' on every page. When you buy this novel, take a holiday and read. I will be jealous on you because I went through this thrill already. I read almost everything of Mulisch (however I am not an adept!) but this is without any doubt his Magnum Opus. Don't wait for the film. The novel itself is a very smart written scenario for your own imagination.
