Joseph and His Brothers

Autor Thomas Mann Traducere de John E. Woods
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 feb 2027

The acclaimed, definitive translation of Mann's magnum opus

'Deep is the well of the past. Should we not call it bottomless?'

Thomas Mann described Joseph and His Brothers as his 'pyramid': his towering literary achievement, although the Nazi regime tried to sabotage its first publication. This lavish, sweeping saga retells the Biblical story of Joseph, whose dreams and visions set him apart from his siblings and lead him first to slavery and ultimately to power and prestige. With rich detail and unexpected humour, Mann paints the lost landscapes of Egypt and Canaan and brings to life the great characters of Genesis - patriarchs, pharaohs, avenged sisters and jealous brothers - in a chronicle of epic grandeur, with a family drama at its heart.

Translated by John E. Woods

Notă biografică

Thomas Mann (Author)
Thomas Mann (1875-1955) is widely regarded as the greatest German novelist of the twentieth century. His first novel, Buddenbrooks, was a huge success and led to a Nobel Prize in Literature. However, when the Nazis came to power, his works were blacklisted and burned and Mann was stripped of his citizenship. He spent the latter part of his life in exile in the United States and Switzerland. His other major novels include The Magic Mountain, Doctor Faustus and Joseph and His Brothers.


Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
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.
