Publisher Description

Of his 12 sons, the mighty Jacob loved his 11th, Joseph, most of all...which made the 11 other sons dislike, even hate, Joseph...especially after Jacob had made a beautiful coat of many colors for Joseph. So the brothers secretly sold Joseph to merchants heading for Egypt. However, years later, Joseph saved his brothers from a devastating drought, where they founded the nation of Israel.

"An incredible achievement! Mann considered this his best work and I agree. While not a quick or easy read, the rhythms carry you along page after page and in my case month after month. I savored the writing while enjoying Mann's extended exegesis on time, myth, story telling, history, religion, belief, etc. etc. What a shame this is not better known although the new translation should help considerably."

    " This is really a story of love and forgiveness. Joseph who doesn't know darkness, and is a light and loving soul wouldn't act any other way but to forgive his cunning brothers. Of course! However, is it his father to blame? If he loved all his children equally, would the history of the world still be the same? "

    " A phantastic account of the biblical story of Jakob's family and Joseph and his brothers. I am reading it in German, but I am told that even translations bring out the powerful language of Thomas Mann. It feels like being right there a the time. Mann must have done intensive research to be able to describe the traditions, customs and ways of life and religion in such detail. "

    " I really wish I liked this more than I did, but Mann here comes off as really stale at times. Mann's total immersion in the period's mythology though is stunning. Might just need another read before the scope of the work really comes alive for me. "

    " Lovingly shows the origin and value of myth, archetype in culture. Absolute poetry, at least in the translation into Russian by Solomon Apt. "
