Art/Literary - Religion / Works By Meir Shalev | | Italian term or phrase: caccia agli inizi | Contesto:
"Ed è dalla consuetudine con quei personnaggi conosciuti fin da bambino che è nata anche la **'caccia agli inizi'** Che poi - già nel titolo del libro - suona immediatamente come un'allusione, dal momento che in ebraico la Genesi prende il nome dalle sue prime paraole: Bereshit, cioè proprio 'in principio.' Scorrendo le pagine del libro de Meir Shalev non manca di emergere il volto sorprendente della Bibbia: prendiamo ad esempio la parola 'amore.'"
The aricle is about how Israeli author, Meir Shalev, looks for stories in the Bible that are expressions of basic human experiences, such as love, hate, weeping, laughing, etc.
Does it just mean "search for the beginnings?" |
| | | search for our beginnings | Explanation:
I would initially have gone for "search for our origins" ("hunt" wouldn't work), but the reference to Genesis, "in principio" "in the beginning" in the James I bible, requires "beginnings". |
