Svend Åge Madsen (Danish pronunciation: [ˈsvɛnˀ ˈɔːʊ ˈmæsn̩] born 2 November 1939) is a Danish novelist. He studied mathematics before he began writing fiction. His novels are generally philosophical and humorous. Several of his works have been made into films in Denmark. His writings are extensive and has been translated into many languages.
Madsen's writing style and philosophy have placed him amongst the most distinguished and widely read authors in Denmark today. His novels reflect the grave problems faced by modern civilisation, and a number of them have achieved cult status in Denmark. The interplay between quasi-realism and complete fantasy in Svend Åge Madsen’s novels leads to contemplation of the indefinable nature of human existence.
Da den verdenskendte danske astronom Adam d'Eden findes død, spiddet på Århus Domkirkes spir, sættes en handling af verdensreligiøs betydning i gang. Adam d'Eden opdagede i sin tid to såkaldte spejlplaneter. Det særlige ved spejlplaneter er, at de reflekterer jordens lys, så man kan se, hvad der foregik på jorden for 2000 år siden - den tid, det tager lyset at rejse frem og tilbge. Adam d'Eden har iagttaget indtet mindre en Jesu liv, som det virkelig var. En chokerende sandhed, som han har dokumenteret på tusindvis af videobånd. Og nu går den vilde jagt. Mange er interesserede i båndene og er villige til at slå ihjel for dem ...
En forrygende filosofisk spændingsroman om religion, sandhed og kampen for at få fat i den rette fortolkning.
