About this title

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

" the Book of Exodus is a composition that incorporates bits of reality from four separate exodoi of the Children of Israel protracted over a span of 400 years and all have left some trace within either recorded history or folk-memory. If all the rumors of these four exodoi really do have a basis in fact, then the first took place under conditions where it seemed the world was coming to an end; the second occurred when a sleeping lion awoke with a terrible roar; the third became the by-product of a religious reformation, led by a fanatic; and the fourth was the denouement of a great drama, surpassing Shakespeare s Richard the Third, complete with a power-seeking manipulator, helpless young prince, and a queen as a pawn."
