Narration In Favor Of Books Joseph and His Brothers (Joseph und seine Brüder #1-4)

This remarkable new translation of the Nobel Prize-winner’s great masterpiece is a major literary event.

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.

Critique Epithetical Books Joseph and His Brothers (Joseph und seine Brüder #1-4)

Lets get the gushing fanboy raving out of the way first this book only serves to solidify for me that Thomas Mann was one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, a true literary titan. In my opinion it manages to be better than Buddenbrooks: The Decline of a Family, The Magic Mountain, and Doctor Faustus - and, truth be told, I find it amazing that he managed to write a book better than Doctor Faustus. Ive still not read The Confessions of Felix Krull, Confidence Man: The Early Years

A monumental feat of historical and biblical world building, Joseph achieves its ambitious goal of 'realizing' the incredulous lives of Jacob and his sons. Painstaking research and details make it seem as though Mann used a time machine, because he certainly wasn't able to use the internet. At times the density, with multitudes of names in different tongues of old gods, can confound, and the last part in Egypt can be a slog, unless of course you're an ancient Egyptian religion and culture

I've lost count of the number of times I've read Mann's magnum opus. It is enormous, sustaining, and deeply satisfying on scales both immense and minute, no matter how many times you read it. It goes much further than Paradise Lost toward fulfilling Milton's purpose to "justify the ways of God to men." I believe it is the best novel ever written in any language.There now have been two English translations of this great masterpiece. H.T. Lowe-Porter's was done contemporanously with the four-part

"And so ends this invention of God, this beautiful story of Joseph and his brothers."oh come on

This is a truly wonderful book. I would be very inclined to recommend it to others, except for the fact that it is almost 1500 pages long. It is divided up into four "books" that are more like the length of a normal novel, and I originally thought that I might read them somewhat separately, taking breaks in between to break it up. But they really aren't stand-alone, and anyway, once I was reading it, I didn't want to stop to read other books. All I can say is that if you are feeling up for a

This is easily the best, most beautifully written book I've ever read.

I don't think I've ever read 1500 pages this quickly. The remarkable thing is that it was so easy. The writing pulled me along with a combination of great storytelling, philosophy, history, psychology, humor, character study, politics--basically everything I love mixed together perfectly. At times it felt like an adventure story. At other times like reading the encyclopedia if the encyclopedia were fun to read. Still other times I was moved to tears, my heart aching for these characters and
