{"product_id":"job-the-silent","title":"Job the Silent","description":"\u003cp\u003eOffering an original reading of the book of Job, one of the great literary classics of biblical literature, this book develops a new analogical method for understanding how biblical texts evolve in the process of transmission. Zuckerman argues that the book of Job was intended as a parody protesting the stereotype of the traditional righteous sufferer as patient and silent. He compares the book of Job and its fate to that of a famous Yiddish short story, \"Bontsye\n\u003cbr\u003eShvayg,\" another covert parody whose protagonist has come to be revered as a paradigm of innocent Jewish suffering. Zuckerman uses the story to prove how a literary text becomes separated from the\n\u003cbr\u003eintention of its author, and takes on quite a different meaning for a specific community of readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156697805038,"sku":"9780195121278","price":174.56,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/job-the-silent","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
