Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book of Job "I call that [the Book of Job], apart from all theories about it, one of the grandest things ever written with pen. One feels, indeed, as if it were not Hebrew; such a noble universality, different from noble patriotism or sectarianism, reigns in it. A noble Book; all men´s Book! It is our first, oldest statement of the never-ending Problem, - man´s destiny, and God´s ways with him here in this earth. And all in such free-flowing outlines; grand in its sincerity, in its simplicity; in its epic melody, and repose of reconcilement. There is the seeing eye, the mildly understanding heart. So true every way; true eye sight and vision for all things; material things no less than spiritual: the Horse, - ´hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?´ he ´laughs at the shaking of the spear!´ Such living likenesses were never since drawn. Sublime sorrow; sublime reconciliation; oldest choral melody as of the heart of mankind; - so soft, and great; as the summer midnight, as the world with its seas and stars! There is nothing written, I think, in the Bible or out of it, of equal literary merit." - Carlyle. "Of unknown date and unknown authorship, the language impregnated with strange idioms and strange allusions, un-Jewish in form and in fiercest hostility to Judaism, [the Book of Job] hovers like a meteor over the old Hebrew literature: in it but not of it, compelling the acknowledgment of itself by its own internal majesty, yet exerting no influence upon the mind of the people, never alluded to and scarcely ever quoted, till at last the light which it heralded rose up full over the world in Christianity." - J.
