Selma Lagerlöf's The Miracles of Antichrist begins in a world of omen and revelation, where Augustus on the Capitol is confronted by a sibyl's prophecy that only "Christ or Antichrist" will be worshipped there. From that vision grows a haunting, centuries-spanning struggle between imperial pride and divine humility, faith and falsehood, hope and spiritual dread. In the monastery of Aracoeli, Franciscan monks keep vigil like soldiers, fearing the coming of Antichrist and clinging to a miracle-working Christ Child image as their last defense against a weakening world. When a wealthy Englishwoman steals and replaces the image with a counterfeit, the tale deepens into a dark meditation on idolatry, consolation, and the strange ways truth can work through deception. The false Christ image travels onward, even surfacing amid a Paris uprising, where its silent message unsettles a revolutionary searching for justice. Alongside this legend-like spiritual drama runs a passionate human story: Gandolfo's improvised defense of Don Gaetano Alagona, Donna Micaela's awakening to love and loss, and her determined, if naïve, dream of building a railway to Diamante.
