Publisher's summary:
Somewhere, far, very far away, there is an island whose inhabitants call it Aeden. There, perched on a high plateau, stands a city: Olympia. At its heart is a strange institution, the School of the Gods, and its teachers: the twelve gods of Greek mythology, tasked with teaching the art of managing crowds of humans, giving them the desire to survive, build cities, wage war, invent religions or raise their level of consciousness.
The new class? One hundred and forty-four god students who will have to confront one another through their peoples and prophets, each with their own style of divinity.
But life on Aeden is not paradise. One student tries to kill his fellow students, another has fallen madly in love with the most attractive of the teachers, Aphrodite, goddess of love, and everyone wonders what that light high up on the mountain is that seems to be watching them...
After The Thanatonauts and The Empire of the Angels, Bernard Werber takes us even further in the discovery of spiritualities and mythologies. At the end of this extraordinary saga, where adventure, suspense and humour intertwine, you too will ask yourself: “And me, if I were God, what would I do?”
