In return for the finest cooking in the land and the wages of a minor prophet, Ethan must write a proper record, full of glory and battles, statecraft and honor--a tribute to David and, of course, to Solomon, his heir. But as Ethan explores the story, he finds another life hidden behind the iron curtain dividing past from present: the story of a David who seduced, lied, bragged, and plundered his way to power. Ethan wonders: which life should be reported in the King David Report? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Written by one of Germany's most acclaimed dissident authors, \u003ci\u003eThe King David Report\u003c\/i\u003e is both an analysis of the writer's obligations to truth, and an astute satire on the workings of history and politics in a totalitarian state.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stefan Heym\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810115379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810115378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Stefan Heym","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988281065727,"sku":"9780810115378","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f61ba05-5765-49b1-8ee8-ee6374251d6c.jpg?v=1683293643","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-king-david-report-stefan-heym-9780810115378","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
