The Four Wise Men (French: Gaspard, Melchior et Balthazar) is a 1980 novel by Michel Tournier. Ralph Manheim translated the work into English, and the translation was first published by Doubleday and Company in 1982.[1]
It is currently published in English by Johns Hopkins University Press.
It is a variation of the Four Wise Men tale.[1]
Jonathan Baumbach of The New York Times wrote that the words in the English translation were "a mix of modern idiom and literary diction".[1]
Reception
Kirkus Reviews stated that compared to Gemini, the Four Wise Men has more "more narrative enchantment" thematically, and is not as "dense".[2] Kirkus concluded that this is one of the "better" books by the author.[2]
