Book Description: Canongate Books, 2006. Taschenbuch. Book Condition: Neu. " Neu/sofort versandbereit - auf Lager , - Die Geschichte von Samson und seinen Abenteuern, neu interpretiert von dem israelischen Autor David Grossman.Synopsis'There are few other Bible stories with so much drama and action, narrative fireworks and raw emotion, as we find in the tale of Samson: the battle with the lion; the three hundred burning foxes; the women he bedded and the one woman that he loved; his betrayal by all the women in his life, from his mother to Delilah; and, in the end, his murderous suicide, when he brought the house down on himself and three thousand Philistines.' 'Yet, beyond the wild impulsiveness, the chaos, the din, we can make out a life story that is, at bottom, the tortured journey of a single, lonely and turbulent soul who never found, anywhere, a true home in the world, whose very body was a harsh place of exile.' 'For me, this discovery, this recognition, is the point at which the myth - for all its grand images, its larger-than-life adventures - slips silently into the day-to-day existence of each of us, into our most private moments, our buried secrets.' - from David Grossman's Introduction to "Lion's Honey". This work is part of the "Canongate Myths" series.Über den AutorDavid Grossman, 1954 in Jerusalem geboren, ein dezidierter Verfechter einer friedlichen Lösung des Nahostkonflikts, gehört wegen seiner differenzierten politischen Haltung und ungewöhnlichen Erzählphantasie zu den herausragenden Schriftstellern der jüngeren Generation.
