Job the Silent —— A Study in Historical Counterpoint

----- 沉默的工作：历史对立研究

ISBN: 9780195058963 出版年：2011 页码：305 Zuckerman, Bruce Oxford University Press

In this strikingly original study, Zuckerman compares The Book of Job and its fate to that of the famous Yiddish short story, "Bontsye Shvayg," a covert parody whose protagonist has come to be revered as a paradigm of innocent Jewish suffering. He illustrates how a literary text becomes separated from the intention of its author, and takes on a different meaning for a specific community of readers.
