What if Jesus were to return? Isn't the one who cannot be touched the most alluring, the most seductive? The Absolute Encounter celebrates the presence of Eros in a very particular case, for it concerns the figure of Jesus, his return to our world, and the carnal love between the God-Man becoming human and a young woman attaining divinity. The characters in this novel evolve in a world that has tipped into the unreal. In this context, the first murder of a young girl occurs in a monastery. And several voices follow one another, interwoven. The abbot, the deaconess, Jesus, Magdalene, the witch... so many characters through whom the unfolding drama takes place: the crimes perpetrated against young girls, for the first murder will be followed by several others. These are the "doll-girls." They contain an obscure message that evokes the pagan world with its human sacrifices. Beauty, cruelty, horror… Some see the presence of the Antichrist. But who is Jesús Salgado, the fascinating being who seduces both sexes, who devours souls? As the corpses of the "doll-girls" pile up, Jesús Salgado spreads the good word. And the creatures around him lose their minds… Could he be the new incarnation of Christ? This time with a complete message of love, a marriage of heart, body, and spirit. Jesús Salgado lives an intense love story, as much spiritual as erotic, with the purest of women, Magdeleine. In this simple and loving girl, the God-Man will awaken the unfathomable depths of the celestial and earthly flesh, in the power of Eroticism and Love.
