The Sibyl Audiobook (Unabridged)

" The Wandering Jew meets The Disgraced Oracle. The two swap stories. "

" This was a bit of a predictable parable but lovely nonetheless. "

" One of the high points of 20th century allegory. Beautiful, haunting, in a "Winter Lights" Bergman sort of way. "

" I thought this book was just beautifully written. Im sure most of the symbolism was over my head, but that didn't stop me from loving it "

" Style & insight "

" Everyone who believes in God should read this parable of human and divine love. (Atheists might like it even more.) Bottom-line message; hope the deity doesn't single you out for special attention! "

" A rather short novel about mystery and grace. "

" Seriously thoughtful and meditative ... "

" Religious freakiness. "

" very poetic. draws from myths. dark.dark.dark. "

" I can't help but feel that so much of the lyricism of this book was lost in translation. You can feel it around the corner, but much of the language feels flat. That being said, crazy ecstatic oracle carnally loving a goat god? Sign me up. "

" Was she possessed, or was it all in her imagination? You decide... "

" A strange allegorical tale of humans grappling with the "divine." Lyrical and beautiful. "

" By far this is the one book I think about often, after reading it almost 40 years ago. "

" [summer 2008] another quasi-mythical tale from lagerkvist, again filled with paradoxes and religious themes of faith and devotion. he's a fascinating writer and, in the limited exposure i've had to him, has had the great benefit of effective translators. "

" One of those books that needs you to be in a particular phase in life to truly be epiphanic. Clearly I'm nowhere close to whatever that phase is. Must re-read sometime in life. "

" I know this is a parable, but I would have to spend a lot of cold, long nights in Norrbotten to figure it out... "

" Gosh I wish I was reviewing this right after I read it instead of years later. I loved this book. Kinda wierd, but thoughtful and thought provoking. "

" Read this for a class and was struck at how beautiful and bizzare this book was while remaining lucid and interesting. Really, Lagerkvist is hard to review without just spewing adjectives. "
