具体描述
Envisioning the first book of the bible like no one before him, R. Crumb, the legendary illustrator, reveals here the story of Genesis in a profoundly honest and deeply moving way. Originally thinking that we would do a take off of Adam and Eve, Crumb became so fascinated by the Bible's language, "a text so great and so strange that it lends itself readily to graphic depictions," that he decided instead to do a literal interpretation using the text word for word in a version primarily assembled from the translations of Robert Alter and the King James bible. Now, readers of every persuasion--Crumb fans, comic book lovers, and believers--can gain astonishing new insights from these harrowing, tragic, and even juicy stories. Crumb's Book of Genesis reintroduces us to the bountiful tree lined garden of Adam and Eve, the massive ark of Noah with beasts of every kind, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed by brimstone and fire that rained from the heavens, and the Egypt of the Pharaoh, where Joseph's embalmed body is carried in a coffin, in a scene as elegiac as any in Genesis. Using clues from the text and peeling away the theological and scholarly interpretation that have often obscured the Bible's most dramatic stories, Crumb fleshes out a parade of Biblical originals: from the serpent in Eden, the humanoid reptile appearing like an alien out of a science fiction movie, to Jacob, a "kind've depressed guy who doesn't strike you as physically courageous," and his bother, Esau, "a rough and kick ass guy," to Abraham's wife Sarah, more fetching than most woman at 90, to God himself, "a standard Charlton Heston-like figure with long white hair and a flowing beard." As Crumb writes in his introduction, "the stories of these people, the Hebrews, were something more than just stories. They were the foundation, the source, in writing of religious and political power, handed down by God himself." Crumb's Book of Genesis, the culmination of 5 years of painstaking work, is a tapestry of masterly detail and storytelling which celebrates the astonishing diversity of the one of our greatest artistic geniuses. Nominated for three 2010 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards: Best Adaptation from Another Work, Best Graphic Album, Best Writer/Artist.

说实话，这本书的语言风格对我来说，是一种既熟悉又陌生的混合体。它保留了某种古老的、庄严的语调，仿佛是从古老的石碑上拓印下来一般，但同时又通过精妙的现代翻译（或者说，对原文意境的现代诠释），使得那些遥远的概念能够被我们当下的情感所捕捉。阅读过程中，我反复停下来，仅仅为了回味某个措辞的绝妙组合，那种画面感极强，仿佛脑海中自动播放着一幕幕恢弘的场景。它的世界观构建得极其扎实，每一个地理名词、每一个祭祀仪式，都似乎有着深厚的文化背景支撑，让人不得不惊叹于作者在细节考证上的功力。这本书的伟大之处在于，它并没有给出简单的答案，而是在提出了一系列关于起源、罪愆与救赎的终极问题后，将解读的权利完全交还给了读者。它要求你不仅要“看”故事，更要“思考”故事背后的哲学重量。我强烈推荐给那些对文化溯源和原型心理学感兴趣的同道中人。
评分我必须强调，这本书的结构布局极为巧妙，它巧妙地在宏观的历史叙事和微观的个体经历之间进行了完美的切换。你可能前一刻还在为一场跨越千年的战争结果而揪心，下一刻就被卷入某个先祖内心深处最隐秘的恐惧与渴望之中。这种多维度的叙事策略，使得整本书读起来毫不单调，总有新的发现等待着你。作者对于“传承”这一概念的探讨，达到了一个令人难以企及的高度，它展现了经验如何代代相传，信仰如何被重塑，以及记忆如何在时间的洪流中被扭曲或保存。读完后，我产生了一种奇特的时空错位感，仿佛自己是无数历史片段中最新的一环，而那些远古的事件，都直接影响着我此刻的呼吸与思想。这是一部挑战认知边界的作品，它要求读者放下已有的知识框架，以一种近乎孩童的好奇心去重新审视人类文明的开端。 简而言之，它是一部重量级的、必须被认真对待的文学巨著。
评分这部作品的阅读体验，更像是一场对人类集体潜意识的深度潜水。它所触及的主题，是如此的原始和普世，以至于不论你来自哪个时代或文化背景，都能在其中找到自己影子。我特别欣赏作者在处理冲突时所展现出的那种克制与力量的平衡——高潮迭起的部分固然精彩绝伦，但那些看似不经意的日常对话和家庭内部的张力，反而更具穿透力。正是这些平凡中的不凡，构建起了整个史诗的骨架。它没有使用花哨的叙事技巧来取悦读者，而是依靠事件本身的重量和人物命运的必然性来推动情节。这种纯粹的力量，在当今充斥着各种叙事花招的作品中，显得尤为珍贵。唯一的“缺点”或许是，它太过沉重，如果心情低落时阅读，可能会被那种宿命感所压倒。它需要的是一种心境平和、准备好迎接一场精神洗礼的状态。
评分这部史诗般的作品，简直是一场心智的马拉松，把我拖进了历史的深处，那种宏大叙事的力量感，透过文字的缝隙喷薄而出，让人几乎能嗅到远古泥土的气息。作者在构建世界观时展现出的那种近乎偏执的细致，着实令人印象深刻。每一个族群的兴衰，每一次关键决策的权衡，都被描摹得淋漓尽致，仿佛不是在阅读，而是在亲历那些波澜壮阔的时代变迁。尤其值得称道的是，它并没有将历史人物简单地脸谱化，即便是那些处于道德灰色地带的角色，其动机和挣扎也被赋予了复杂的层次感。我尤其喜欢那些关于权力斗争和信仰抉择的段落，那种对人性的深刻洞察，让人在合上书本后，仍需花费大量时间沉思。它不仅仅是一部记录过去的作品，更像是一面映照当下的镜子，迫使我们反思既有的价值观和社会的根基。那种信息密度和情感张力，需要读者全身心的投入，绝对不是可以随随便便翻阅的“轻阅读”材料。这本书的体量和广度，让人感觉自己完成了一次对人类文明早期阶段的深度考古。
评分这本书的叙事节奏像是一条蜿蜒曲折的河流，时而平静舒缓，让我们得以细细品味人物内心的细微涟漪；时而又猛然加速，将你卷入一场场疾风骤雨般的冲突与变故之中。我得承认，开篇的某些章节略显晦涩，那些家族谱系的罗列和早期部落习俗的描述，对于现代读者来说，确实构筑了一道不小的门槛。但一旦跨过那道坎，你会发现，作者用一种近乎诗意的语言，将那些看似枯燥的记载注入了鲜活的生命力。特别是关于契约精神和承诺的讨论，那种贯穿始终的主题，如同坚韧的丝线，将分散的事件紧密地串联起来，形成了一个逻辑严密、情感充沛的整体结构。我个人最受触动的是它对于“选择”这一主题的处理，展示了人类如何在混沌中寻找秩序，如何在无尽的试炼中塑造自我。读完后，我感觉自己的时间观都被拉伸了，仿佛能同时感知到数代人的喜怒哀乐。这是一部需要耐心灌溉，才能收获丰厚果实的阅读体验。

评分how did i get this book..? the best guess is that i saw it in the used bookstore and mistook it was a genuine satire (caricature?). but it turns out to be a dead serious animation of christian bible.... but from its seriousness, the true irony flourishes. (i am bilingually broken...)
