ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell follows a Jesuit mission into the uncharted depths of space after compelling signals of potential intelligent life are detected near Alpha Centauri. Driven by faith and a thirst for discovery "for the greater glory of God", a diverse team of linguists, scientists, and priests embarks on an ambitious journey. Their initial hopes of peaceful contact and expanding their understanding of creation are quickly challenged as they encounter an alien society unlike anything they could have imagined. The narrative explores themes of first contact, cultural misunderstanding, the nature of faith, and the complex relationships between different civilizations.
