Description
Thomas Mann's monumental retelling of the biblical story of Joseph is a unified narrative that explores the universal force of human love in all its beauty, desperation, absurdity, and pain. The novel is divided into four parts, each offering a unique perspective on Joseph's journey from slavery to lordship over Egypt. Through lavish detail, Mann conjures vivid images of ancient civilizations and the world of patriarchs and pharaohs. His writing combines humor, emotion, psychological insight, and epic grandeur, creating a rich tapestry that is both elegant and coarse by turns. This new English translation by John E. Woods brings Mann's masterpiece to life, revealing its exuberant polyphony of voices and a music that is sublime.
