Requests:  0 Summary:  "Stephen Mitchell's gift is to breathe new life into ancient classics. In Joseph and the Way of Forgiveness, he offers us his riveting novelistic version of the Biblical tale in which Jacob's favorite son is sold into slavery and eventually becomes viceroy of Egypt. Tolstoy called it the most beautiful story in the world. What's new here is the lyrical, witty, vivid prose, informed by a wisdom that brings fresh insight to this foundational legend of betrayal and all-embracing forgiveness. Mitchell's retelling, which reads like a postmodern novel, interweaves the narrative with brief meditations that, with their Zen surprises, expand the narrative and illuminate its main themes. By stepping inside the minds of Joseph and the other characters, Mitchell reanimates one of the central stories of Western culture. The engrossing tale that he has created will capture the hearts and minds of modern readers and show them that this ancient story can still challenge, delight, and astonish"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 222.11092 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 222.11092 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 221.11092 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
