In this magisterial work by the Italian intellectual superstar Roberto Calasso  figures of the Bible and its whole outline emerge in a new light: one that is often astonishing and disquieting  as indeedmore than any otheris the book from which they originate  Roberto Calassos The Book of All Books is a narration that moves through the Bible as if through a forest  where every branchevery versemay offer some revelation. Where a man named Saul becomes the first king of a people because his father sent him off to search for some donkeys that had gone astray. Where  in answer to an invitation from Jerusalems king  the queen of a remote African realm spends three years leading a long caravan of young men  girls dressed in purple  and animals  and with large quantities of spices  to ask the king certain questions. And where a man named Abraham hears these words from a divine voice: Go away from your land  from your country and from the house of your father toward the land that I will show youwords that reverberate throughout the Bible  a story about a separation and a promise followed by many other separations and promises.  The Book of All Books  the tenth part of a series  parallels in many ways the second part  The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony. There  gods and heroes of the Greek myths revealed new physiognomies  whereas here many figures of the Bible and its whole outline emerge in a new light: one that is often astonishing and disquieting  as indeed is the bookmore so than any otherfrom which they originate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945520984117,"sku":"ByrdShop_0374601895","price":30.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780374601898.jpg?v=1769891860","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-book-of-all-books","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
