Joseph and His Brothers: Book 2

Thomas Mann’s "Joseph and His Brothers" is a monumental four-part novel, written over a decade in exile, that retells chapters twenty-one to thirty of the Book of Genesis through a mythological lens. The second volume, "Young Joseph," focuses on Joseph’s early years, leading up to his eventual imprisonment by his brothers, and is rich with detailed imagery, historical depth, and mythic grandeur. This recording, based on John E. Woods' definitive translation, offers an authoritative and immersive experience of Mann’s deeply psychological and legendary storytelling.
