The Gospel According to Saint X

Tolstoy’s Gospels in Brief re-told using the characters from Antonie de Saint-Exupery’s The Little Prince.

This is the story of a mysterious little man, fathered by the universe, who, after becoming enlightened by a wise creature, takes up the offer of an assisted suicide by a demonic animal. He does this to save a man. A man who has lost his way in life, by rekindling his innocence and sense of wonder.

Jesus died for our sins. He can’t do it again. Here, I offer the Little Prince to take his place.
