I watched the TV adaptation and think I loved that too but don't recall it very well. It was written in 1979 and stands the test of time. One of the best books I have read, spanning years and continents. Seriously, you will definitely shed a tear at the end.Whittemore, Amie. "Ishmael – Part 9: Sections 9–11". Cliffs Notes.

And despite this being a lengthy book that covers quite a few decades, the story moves pretty fast because of this writing style. Allusions to Cain and Abel as an archetype of fratricide appear in numerous references and retellings, through medieval art and Shakespearean works up to present day fiction. [30]

One chapter you’re rooting for Kane and then the next you’re rooting for Abel. And then the next you’re rooting for neither...

A treatise on Christian Hermeticism, Meditations on the Tarot: A Journey into Christian Hermeticism, describes the biblical account of Cain and Abel as a myth, in that it expresses, in a form narrated for a particular case, an "eternal" idea. It argues that brothers can become mortal enemies through the very fact that they worship the same God in the same way. According to the author, the source of religious wars is revealed.
