![]() ![]() There are apparently some more exciting scenes further on, with the violent murder of Hypatia and Hypa's lusting after a pagan woman, Octavia, but I'm calling it a day. Hypa spends much of his time in prayer and supplication, attempting to resist the urgings of the Devil (Azazeel of the title), and more of his time discussing theological issues with other experts, such as Bishop Nestorius. He is also trying to work out within himself, what he does and does not believe.This would be a book that would interest scholars of comparative religions and students of theology, but I found it too laborious and rambling. It is the fifth century AD and he is writing everything down on a series of scrolls to be buried and discovered at some future time a monk's version of a time capsule. What did surprise me though, was that this book was originally written in Arabic and therefore read by a predominantly Muslim audience.Hypa, a Coptic monk, has lived through many of the tumultous events of the early Christian Church. Dalam rangka untuk menjawab permasalahan yang diangkat dalam skripsi ini, yaitu: Apa saja tanda-tanda yang berhubungan dengan hal-hal religius dan maknanya di dalam novel ‘Azazil karya Youssef Ziedan Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah disiplin ilmu semiotika khususnya semiotika Charles Sanders Peirce. ![]() This does not surprise me at all, the book read very much like a study of the ideologies behind the early Christian Church, spoken through the mouth of the main character, a monk named Hypa. As it says in the Product Description above, Youssef Ziedan is an Egyptian scholar who specializes in Arabic and Islamic studies. I gave up after 15% :(I very rarely abandon a book but I was really getting nothing out of this. ![]()
