In this magisterial work by the Italian intellectual superstar Roberto Calasso, figures of the Bible and its whole outline emerge in a new light: one that is often astonishing and disquieting, as indeed--more than any other--is the book from which they originate\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRoberto Calasso's \u003ci\u003eThe Book of All Books\u003c\/i\u003e is a narration that moves through the Bible as if through a forest, where every branch--every verse--may offer some revelation. Where a man named Saul becomes the first king of a people because his father sent him off to search for some donkeys that had gone astray. Where, in answer to an invitation from Jerusalem's king, the queen of a remote African realm spends three years leading a long caravan of young men, girls dressed in purple, and animals, and with large quantities of spices, to ask the king certain questions. And where a man named Abraham hears these words from a divine voice: \"Go away from your land, from your country and from the house of your father toward the land that I will show you\"--words that reverberate throughout the Bible, a story about a separation and a promise followed by many other separations and promises. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Book of All Books\u003c\/i\u003e, the tenth part of a series, parallels in many ways the second part, \u003ci\u003eThe \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eMarriage of Cadmus and Harmony\u003c\/i\u003e.
