Summary "Les deux paradis d'Abd-Er-Rhaman" by Jules Tellier is a philosophical novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on the journey of Abd-Er-Rhaman, an old scholar in Algeria, who grapples with his inner conflicts concerning faith as he faces his mortality. The novel explores themes of religious doubt, the search for truth, and the contrasting concepts of paradise in Christianity and Islam. The narrative follows Abd-Er-Rhaman as he reflects on his life and beliefs while wandering through the streets of Constantine during a cold winter night. His internal struggle intensifies as he revisits the place of his childhood education, confronting the contrasting beliefs of Christianity and Islam that he has encountered over his lifetime. As he lies on his deathbed, he seeks spiritual solace by simultaneously embracing both faiths. After his death, Abd-Er-Rhaman's soul encounters angels representing both religions, who offer him a choice between two paradises. Ultimately, he experiences both forms of afterlife, initially enjoying the pleasures of the Islamic paradise but soon becoming disillusioned by its monotony. The novel concludes with a profound commentary on the nature of happiness, existence, and the human condition, leaving readers to ponder the deeper implications of belief and the satisfaction derived from life and the afterlife.
