Josef - Der Auserwahlte Unter Seinen Brudern (German, Paperback, 3rd ed.)

English summary: JOSEPH: Chosen among His BrothersAt the age of seventeen he certainly did not lack in self-assurance, dreaming that even the sun, moon, and stars threw themselves to the ground in front of him. His father's favorite, hated by his brothers; betrayed and sold to Egypt yet already back on his way to the top, held in high regard by Potiphar his master, fervently desired by his mistress, who brought disaster upon him; a have-not from Canaan, raised to the highest honors by Pharao; a man whom fortune did not abandon even in times of misfortune.The book traces Joseph's literary biography in the Pentateuch. It examines the life of Joseph and his brothers in the light of historical facts, searches for the author of this masterpiece of Hebrew narrative art, and looks for the intended readership. A separate chapter illuminates exemplarily the reception of Joseph's story in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as well as in the arts and literature. German text. German description: An Selbstbewusstsein fehlte es ihm nicht, dem Siebzehnja?hrigen, der davon tra?umte, dass sich selbst Sonne, Mond und Sterne vor ihm zur Erde warfen: geliebt von seinem Vater, gehasst von den Bru?dern; verraten und verkauft nach A?gypten und doch schon wieder auf dem Weg nach oben, gescha?tzt von Potiphar, seinem Herrn, heiss begehrt und ins Unglu?ck gestu?rzt von seiner Herrin; ein Habenichts aus Kanaan, vom Pharao zu ho?chsten Ehren erhoben, ein Mann, den das Glu?ck auch im Unglu?ck nicht verliess.Das Buch geht der literarischen Biographie Josefs in der Bibel Israels nach. Es stellt die Frage, wie sich das Leben von Josef und seinen Bru?dern zur Geschichte verha?lt, welchem Autor wir dieses Meisterwerk der hebra?ischen Erza?hlkunst verdanken und fu?r welche Leser es geschrieben wurde. Ein eigenes Kapitel verfolgt exemplarisch die Wirkungsgeschichte Josefs in Judentum, Christentum und Islam sowie in Kunst und Literatur.
