Book Overview

Joseph: A Poem, In Nine Books is a literary work by the French poet Paul Jeremie Bitaube, first published in 1783. The poem tells the story of Joseph, the biblical figure who was sold into slavery by his brothers and eventually rose to become a powerful ruler in Egypt. Bitaube's poem is divided into nine books, each of which explores different aspects of Joseph's life and character. The first book introduces Joseph as a young boy, beloved by his father but resented by his jealous brothers. The subsequent books follow Joseph's journey into slavery and his rise to power in Egypt, as well as his encounters with various other biblical figures such as Potiphar's wife and Pharaoh.Throughout the poem, Bitaube explores themes of love, betrayal, and redemption, drawing on both biblical and classical sources to create a rich and complex portrait of Joseph's life. The language of the poem is highly poetic and often employs vivid imagery and metaphor, making it a challenging but rewarding read for lovers of poetry and literature.Overall, Joseph: A Poem, In Nine Books is a masterful work of poetry that offers a unique and thought-provoking take on one of the most famous stories in the Bible.Two Volumes In One.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
