Joseph and His Brothers: Book 4

Thomas Mann's acclaimed retelling of the biblical story of Joseph is a grand, mythological novel that explores the ancient worlds of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Palestine, blending rich detail with universal themes of love, suffering, and human folly. The novel, considered Mann's magnum opus, is a complex and vivid portrayal of Joseph's journey from slavery to power, capturing the depth of human emotion and the grandeur of history. Now available in a new English translation by John E. Woods, the work offers a compelling musicality of voices that echo through time, balancing humor, emotion, and psychological insight.
