About this product
Product Information
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.Product Identifiers

Rare Gem
I love this book! Thomas Mann I’d a genius of literature, who was nicknamed ‘the magician’ ; I guess because of the captivating stories that he was able to conjure with his mesmeric prose style. This book, in my opinion, is one his greatest novels, if not THE greatest! It is now out of print and a rare find, especially at this low price! It will be perhaps my most treasured book. I have already started reading it again for a second time even though it is one of the longest books ever written. It’s that good !Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
