Joseph and His Brothers: Volumes 1 and 2

The first two volumes of Thomas Mann’s monumental tetralogy, in which the author reimagines the biblical story of Joseph, son of Jacob. The work is a sweeping narrative that combines elements of a historical novel, philosophical parable, and psychological drama. Mann masterfully reconstructs the ancient world, infusing the biblical tale with profound humanistic meaning and exploring timeless themes of human relationships, destiny, and moral choice.
