This book is an attempt to connect deliberations on manifestations of evil dealt with in the disciplines of philosophy and theology. Additionally, it deals, on the narrative level, with the characters own knowledge about the addressed issues. In doing so, it starts out with an overview of the various relevant philosophical themes. The three main chapters then separately deal with the notions of the characters awareness of evil in their world, the Christian parallels distinguished in these novels, and the philosophical implications concerned; all of which however overlap at several points.
