«La donna che scrisse la Bibbia» is the historical novel by Moacyr Scliar, published by Voland in paperback (144 pages, in Italian).
What if the Bible had been written by a woman? The novel follows an unattractive young woman, daughter of a tribal chief, who ends up in King Solomon's harem. Her intelligence catches the king's attention, and he commissions her to narrate the history of the people of Israel. Irony and a feminist touch to revisit the origin of the sacred text.
The Italian edition, translated by Guia Boni, belongs to the Intrecci collection; the original novel «A Mulher que Escreveu a Biblia» was published in 1999.
Will appeal to readers of historical fiction and those seeking ironic and feminist versions of biblical stories.
Moacyr Jaime Scliar was a Brazilian writer and physician. Most of his writing centers on issues of Jewish identity in the Diaspora and particularly on being Jewish in Brazil.
