The world's three largest faiths all find a common root in one man: Abraham. Breaking new ground, David Rosenberg portrays Abraham as a man whose whole life, and therefore his legacy, is informed by the Sumerian culture that produced him. Abraham is a brilliant literary excavation of the ancient cultures from which our modern world has grown.
作者简介 David Rosenberg is a poet, essayist, and critic. He is the former editor of the Jewish Publication Society and was Harold Bloom's co-author on The Book of J. Rosenberg's other writings include A Poet's Bible and Lost Book of Paradise. He lives in Florida.
媒体推荐 "... (T) hrilling...What Rosenberg does best is to show not only the distance between the biblical authors and the events they describe, but also the closeness. He looks at why they needed to create these tales in the way they did, and why we still need them now." Daily Telegraph"
