With the characteristic style of prophetic biblical stories, this book narrates the misadventures of the Jew Abdias, a character who unequivocally evokes the biblical figure of Job. However, Abdias is no modern Job. He is a person who suffers, who bears and endures, but not because he is a sinner: precisely because, quite the opposite, he is a pious and honest man. "Con el caracter y la forma de las narraciones biblicas profeticas, este libro nos narra las desventuras del judio Abdias, un personaje que inequivocamente reproduce la figura biblica de Job. A pesar de ello, Abdias no es ningun Job moderno. Es una persona que sufre, que aguanta y soporta, pero no porque sea un pecador, sino precisamente por lo contrario, porque es un hombre piadoso y honesto."
