The history told by Lagerkvist makes Barabbas one condemned to died for sedition and murder, leaves from which he will escape, replaced on the cross by Jesus. It is pardoned at the time of Easter, at the request of the Holy Land crowd, whereas Pontius Pilate proposed to release Jesus.
In this novel of Pär Lagerkvist, the contemplation of crucifié on the Mont Golgotha involves Barabbas towards a kind of search of the faith. The torment of Christ marks it forever, until the moment when, in its crucifié turn, he pronounces these at the same time mysterious and transparent words: “To you I give my heart…” This meditation on the tragic direction of the existence, where God, if there remains dumb, is never absent from world, was worth with its author the Nobel Prize in 1951.
