This review is from: Joseph in Egypt (Hardcover)
He's done it again! What a read! How Mann manages to pull suspense out of a story that everyone knows is just amazing. But it's a page turner from start to finish - all 664 pages of the two volumes. I love the way, every now and then, he makes reference to an occurence in the first two volumes, thus tieing things together. And how Joseph matures - even here we see his pride that still needs a fall - thus he goes to prison. And the sexual explicitness was quite a surprise. But I see also here the seeds of our Christian and Judaic hang-up with sex - Joseph could not bed the mistress because he felt himself consecrated to his God. There was also loyalty to his master, of course, but I don't think that was his prime reason. And how Mut changed! Mann has used passion as an overwhelming evil thing when it is thwarted.

This review is from: Joseph in Egypt (Hardcover)
Can be tough to read as it is so thick with characters and plot but outstanding in every way. Please put on your "to read" list.
