King Solomon. The Wisest of the Wise

King Solomon, the wisest of the wise, is a symbol of the wisdom of all mankind. The era of his reign was imbued with the charm of the image of a majestic ruler. The people experienced a period of peaceful construction, trade relations were perfected, a Temple was built that united the people of Israel and Judah into a spiritual whole, and the main books of the Old Testament were compiled. The feelings of legality and justice took root in the consciousness of the people. The author of the book, Friedrich Tiberger, a world-renowned scholar of Hebrew, friend and interlocutor of Franz Kafka, does not aim for unwarranted glorification. He critically evaluates the sources from the perspective of modern historical knowledge, and his subtle and profound analysis of ancient texts reveals the piercing tragedy of the insurmountable loneliness of the wisest of the wise.
