Bøger af Karam Clovis

Ao longo da sua carreira de investigador da mitologia fenícia, o Dr. Karam nunca deixou de conferir a todos os seus trabalhos uma autêntica universalidade. Nesta análise aprofundada do mito de Adonis e das suas repercussões culturais no Oriente e no Ocidente, o autor demonstrou o seu domínio tanto da investigação académica de alto nível como da técnica de descodificação da mitologia fenícia. Nesta obra erudita dedicada ao mito de Adonai através dos séculos, o nosso autor demonstrou uma erudição inigualável e conseguiu abrir uma página fundadora de uma nova exegese bíblica e de uma nova hermenêutica para decifrar as forças criadoras do génio semita.

Nel corso della sua carriera di ricercatore di mitologia fenicia, il dottor Karam non ha mai smesso di conferire a tutti i suoi lavori un'autentica universalità. In questa analisi approfondita del mito di Adone e delle sue ripercussioni culturali in Oriente e in Occidente, l'autore ha dimostrato la sua padronanza sia della ricerca accademica di alto livello sia della tecnica di decodificazione della mitologia fenicia. In quest'opera di grande cultura dedicata al mito di Adonai attraverso i secoli, il nostro autore ha dato prova di un'erudizione senza pari, riuscendo ad aprire una pagina fondante per una nuova esegesi biblica e per un'ermeneutica di decifrazione delle forze creative del genio semitico.

Throughout his career as a researcher in Phoenician mythology, Dr Karam has never ceased to give all his work an authentic universality. In this in-depth analysis of the Adonis myth and its cultural repercussions in the East and West, the author has demonstrated his mastery of both high-level academic research and the technique of decoding Phoenician mythology. In this highly learned work devoted to the myth of Adonai through the centuries, our author has demonstrated unequalled erudition, and has been able to open up a founding page for a new biblical exegesis and hermeneutics for deciphering the creative forces of Semitic genius.

Im Laufe seiner Karriere als Forscher auf dem Gebiet der phönizischen Mythologie hat Dr. Karam nie aufgehört, all seinen Arbeiten eine authentische Universalität zu verleihen. In dieser tiefgründigen Arbeit über die Analyse des Adonis-Mythos und seiner kulturellen Auswirkungen im Orient und im Okzident hat der Autor seine Meisterschaft sowohl in der akademischen Forschung auf hohem Niveau als auch in der Technik der Entschlüsselung der phönizischen Mythologie unter Beweis gestellt. In diesem sehr gelehrten Werk, das dem Mythos Adonai durch die Jahrhunderte gewidmet ist, hat unser Autor eine ungleiche Gelehrsamkeit unter Beweis gestellt und konnte eine grundlegende Seite für eine neue biblische Exegese und Hermeneutik zur Entschlüsselung der kreativen Kräfte des semitischen Genies aufschlagen.

Hätten wir nicht befürchtet, zu viel Ehrgeiz an den Tag zu legen, hätten wir unserem dritten Buch über die Phönizische Trilogie den zweiten Untertitel gegeben: Einführung in eine Philosophie der Geschichte. Denn das ist letztlich der Sinn des vorliegenden Essays. Als wir die Mythen von Phönix, El, Baal, Adonai und Moloch, die grundlegenden Vorstellungen des historischen Libanon, hinterfragten, fiel uns besonders auf, dass ihre Gegensätzlichkeit und ihre Komplementarität von einer offensichtlichen antihistorischen Dynamik gefolgt waren. Diese Haltung ist sehr bemerkenswert, ebenso wie der Wille, die Geschichte einer "niedergeschlagenen Rasse" durch das größte Unglück, das je eine Nation erlitten hat, abzulehnen. Unsere Soziokritik fügt sich in diesen analytischen Rahmen ein, wobei sie über strukturalistische oder andere Analysemodelle hinausgeht. Die Tatsache, dass die Menschen hier mehr als anderswo unter den negativen Folgen der Götterkämpfe leiden, lässt sich nicht wegdiskutieren. Zwischen dem Terror des menschenfressenden Molochs und den erlösenden Kräften des Phönix scheint das Schicksal des Libanon für immer neu entschieden zu werden.

Had we not been afraid of being too ambitious, we would have given our third book on the Phoenician trilogy a second subtitle: Introduction to a Philosophy of History. For such is the ultimate purpose of this essay. When we examined the myths of the Phoenix, El, Baal, Adonai and Moloch, fundamental conceptions of historical Lebanon, we were particularly struck by their antagonism and complementarity, followed by an obvious anti-historical dynamic. A very feminine attitude, as well as a desire to reject the history of a "race slaughtered" by the greatest misfortunes ever borne by a nation. Our sociocriticism fits into this framework of analysis, while going beyond structural or other models of analysis. It would never be possible to ignore such a fact: here, more than anywhere else, men suffer the unfortunate consequences of the gods' battles. Between the terror of Moloch, the devourer of humans, and the redemptive forces of the Phoenix, Lebanon's destiny seems to be forever being replayed.
