Summary:
"Thomas Mann regarded his monumental retelling of the biblical story of
Joseph
as his magnum opus. He conceived of the four parts - The
Stories
of
Jacob
,
Young
Joseph
,
Joseph
in
Egypt
, and
Joseph
the
Provider
- as a unified narrative, a "mythological novel" of
Joseph
's fall into slavery and his rise to be lord over
Egypt
. Deploying lavish, persuasive detail, Mann conjures for us the world of patriarchs and pharaohs, the ancient civilizations of
Egypt
, Mesopotamia, and Palestine, and the universal force of human love in all its beauty, desperation, absurdity, and pain. The result is a brilliant amalgam of humor, emotion, psychological insight, and epic grandeur. Now the award-winning translator John E. Woods gives us a definitive new English version of
Joseph
and His
Brothers
that is worthy of Mann's achievement, revealing the novel's exuberant polyphony of ancient and modern voices, a rich music that is by turns elegant, coarse, and sublime."--Publisher.
