Description
The story of Jonah, often read as a simple children's story, is a multifaceted and elaborate narrative with serious intent.

The book explores the geography, theology, myth, human characters, natural landscape, and the ideology behind the story to uncover a vision of reality shaped by literary technique.
Jonah's World will be invaluable to students and scholars seeking a new approach to the reading of this colourful text.
