Quote by Lion Feuchtwanger

Asking the author of historical novels to teach you about history is like expecting the composer of a melody to provide answers about radio transmission.

Summary

This quote suggests that relying solely on historical novels to learn about history is akin to expecting a composer of music to provide insights into radio transmission. It implies that while historical novels can provide an entertaining portrayal of historical events, they may not necessarily offer accurate or comprehensive information about history. Just as a composer focuses on creating music rather than understanding the technicalities of radio transmission, an author of historical novels may prioritize storytelling rather than providing precise historical analysis.

The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant

The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.
