The third part of the tetralogy by German Nobel Prize winner Thomas Mann, Joseph and His Brothers, is entitled Joseph in Egypt. This tetralogy is considered one of the most important works by Thomas Mann, but also of German literature of the twentieth century. It was written from 1926 to 1943, and published from 1933 to 1943. It is now available in its entirety again, in a new, masterful translation by Milan Soklić. A work that can be read in many ways Mann wrote in emigration during the years of the greatest world crisis, during the Nazi regime. Today, when we are once again living in a time of great crisis that requires a lot of humanity, solidarity and, above all, reason, Joseph and His Brothers is an extremely relevant and interesting novel.
About it, the greatest expert on German literature, Prof. Dr. Viktor Žmegač says: “Thomas Mann, in his enormous novel in four parts, told the biblical story in his own way: he subjected the mythical imagination to psychological analysis in a spirit of irony that plays with the experience of the past. The way in which ancient tradition is intertwined with the interpretation of modern science, without abandoning the freedom of reasoning, is in keeping with the parodistic style.”
