The Revolt of the Angels

The novel imagines a celestial awakening in which discontented angels question divine order and organize a rebellion against heavenly authority. A central angel leaves complacent ritual to explore human thought, art, and vice, and encounters political and religious institutions that mirror celestial contradictions. Episodes mix philosophical debate, ironic satire, and fantastical incidents to expose the vanity of dogma and the instability of idealism, tracing how lofty principles founder when confronted with desire, pride, and the bargaining of earthly power.
