This event is decisive in Bellori's life, and he thereafter devotes himself to the pursuit and study of angels, the intermediaries of the divine. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Stretching from the Garden of Eden to the present, \u003ci\u003eA Time for Everything\u003c\/i\u003e reimagines key allegorical encounters between humans and angels: the glow of the cherubim watching over Eden; the profound love between Cain and Abel despite their differences; Lot's shame in Sodom; Noah's isolation before the flood; Ezekiel tied to his bed, prophesying ferociously; the death of Christ; and the emergence of sensual, mischievous cherubs in the seventeenth century. Alighting upon these dramatic scenes--from the Bible and beyond--Knausgaard's imagination takes flight. The result is a dazzling display of storytelling at its majestic, spellbinding best. Incorporating and challenging tradition, legend, and the Apocrypha, these penetrating glimpses hazard chilling questions: can the nature of the divine undergo change, and can the immortal perish?\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Archipelago","offers":[{"title":"A Time for Everything | Karl Ove Knausgaard | Paperback | 9780980033083 | New | Fiction 1787002","offer_id":50909237444866,"sku":"1787002","price":193.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71mqI9L-wOL.jpg?v=1793294324","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/a-time-for-everything","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
