Summary

"Drawing on a broad range of sources--literary as well as psychoanalytic, a wealth of classical Jewish texts alongside the likes of George Eliot, W.G. Sebald, and Werner Herzog--Zornberg offers a vivid and original portrait of the biblical Moses. Moses' complex personality, his uncertain origins, and his turbulent relations with his own people are acutely explored by Zornberg, who sees this story, told and retold, as crucial not only to the biblical past but also to the future of Jewish history."--Front flap of jacket
