"The Miracles of Antichrist: A Novel" by Selma Lagerlöf is a fictional work written in the late 19th century. The story navigates themes of faith, the duality of Christ and Antichrist, and the nature of miracles, centered around the struggle of characters in Rome and Sicily against the backdrop of a rich, historical narrative. Notable figures include Emperor Augustus, who encounters a prophetic sibyl, and the impoverished boy Gaetano Alagona, whose journey illuminates the broader implications of worship and societal struggles. The opening of the novel introduces an ominous, dark night during Augustus’s reign, setting the stage for significant celestial events and prophecies about the birth of a new god that intertwine with the fate of Rome. As Augustus seeks divine approval for his new temple, the prophetic Old Sibyl reveals a vision of Christ, declaring that the real god will be worshipped on the Capitol. This marks a profound moment of conflict between divine prophecy and human ambition. Meanwhile, the narrative also hints at the path of Gaetano Alagona, who is introduced as a boy torn between his aspirations to serve God and his roots, suggesting deeper explorations of faith and social justice as the story unfolds.
