"Als symbool voor de mensheid die op haar reis door de tijd steeds verder verwijderd raakte van de harmonie, trekken de drie koningen naar Bethlehem, in de hoop zichzelf in eenheid te hervinden."
"Edition originale, Gallimard, 1980. Tenant du "naturalisme mystique", Michel Tournier, philosophe-écrivain, serait-il devenu un romancier chrétien? Aux trois Rois mages traditionnels qu'il accompagne dans la "recherche du salut qui leur est propre" (J. Piatier), Tournier a ajouté un mage de son invention - Taor - pour mieux scruter les balbutiements de la religion chrétienne par le biais de thèmes chers à l'auteur: la nourriture, la pédophilie et le "sadisme ogrien" (D. Fernandez). Un roman très composite, riche, avec des fléchissements, qui allie l'encyclopédique au rocambolesque. Pour les uns, Tournier a proposé une "vision chrétienne de l'espérance humaine en la vie dominant la mort" (##Notes bibliographiques##). Pour d'autres, Tournier propose dans son oeuvre "un nouveau sacré qui serait matérialiste" (J. Piatier)."
"The legend of the Magi is one of the most potent episodes in the Christian tradition. This novel brings them to life, departing from the Bible story with the addition of the fourth king - Taor, the one who came too late to the nativity."
