A vivid and dazzlingly ambitious epic, it retells the biblical story of Joseph, whose dreams and visions set him apart from his siblings and lead him first to slavery and ultimately to power and prestige in Egypt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith rich detail and unexpected humour, Mann paints the lost landscapes of Egypt, Canaan, and Palestine and brings to life the great characters of Genesis—patriarchs, pharaohs, avenged sisters, and jealous brothers—in a story of epic grandeur with a family drama at its heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJohn E.
