Creation, Man and the Messiah is the magnum opus of Henrik Wergeland, Norwegian poet. He finished the work in 1829, being barely 21 years old. He later abridged it somewhat at his deathbed in 1845, changing some names and editing out some of the more difficult passages — and making a new ending for it.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The "poem", which is quite a door stopper, tells the tale of humanity and its relation to God and the higher celestial beings, beginning with creation as told by The Bible, and walks through human history, the emergence of kings, nobles and clergy, and putting in some juicy social criticism on the way. After this, he presents "lights in the darkness", the philosophers and several doctrines, before going straight to Jesus and his life. This ends as expected, and Wergeland goes on to explore the growing Christian movement, and how it is hijacked by the powers that be, to be just another instrument of power. The ending of man shows the disillusioned poet sitting on a hill Easter morning. He is confronted by the highest being, Akadiel, who shows him the intended way for humanity to go. The poet wakes up consoled, admitting that it will all turn out alright.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This work is of course a cosmic poem after the tradition of John Milton and Dante Alighieri, but being written in the 19th century, new astronomical data and knowledge of natural history, as well as political events are commented, and the book sometimes slips into the territory of Science Fiction: A possible future of humanity with full dating, a mentioning of the celestial spirits originally inhabiting other planets, and so on.The 1845 version consists of the following parts: | |
