Book Reviews of Moses
Book Review: Compelling Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
In this narrative Sholem Asch documents the Biblical epic of Moses, at no time departing from the Biblical truths but also seeking to amplify these truths in order to take the reader into the narrative making it come alive as a portrait of human nobility against a backdrop of oriental colour.
The book takes us from Moses' upbringing in the royal palace where he slowly unfolds the mystery of his birth, and identifies with the suffering of his own people- Israel.
His exile in Midian, the ten plagues and the exodus are all put into an engaging and highly exciting narrative.
The insidious work of Korach, the rebellions of the Israelites in the desert, and the receiving of the Law are all put together in a magnificent masterstore. The dialogue is both poetic and powerful, note the colloquy of Balaam with his long suffering ass.
What really stands out is the description of the evil sorcerer Balaam, where we conjure up a picture of the villain in the likeness of liquidated Arab Nazi mass murderer Ahmed Yassin.
when can just picture Balaam as Yassin.
And the description of how the Midinianite women enticed the men of Israel to sin is vivid and powerful.
Altogether this bring s the story to life and makes for a compelling classic masterpiece.
