\"TheSecretChord\"Na Geraldine Brooks. Viking, 2015. 302 kurasa. $ 27.95 \/ jalada gumu; $ 16 \/ karatasi; $13.99\/Kitabu pepe. <\/i><\/b><\/h3>\nNunua kutoka kwa QuakerBooks<\/span><\/a>\n

Katika kipindi cha kati cha Geraldine Brooks cha hadithi ya Mfalme Daudi, anathubutu \u201ckukabiliana na Mfalme\u201d kupitia msimulizi wake Natan (Nathani), mshauri wake mwaminifu, rafiki na nabii. Hadithi yake inafuata kwa ukaribu marejeo mafupi ya kimaandiko ya maisha ya Mfalme Daudi kutoka ujana hadi kifo chake, pamoja na nyongeza kutoka kwa mawazo ya mwandishi ambayo huongeza kina, fitina, na utajiri. Brooks anatupa picha kamili ya Daudi kwa kujaza mapengo katika maandiko. Jambo hilo huleta uhai wa Daudi na wale walio karibu naye. Je, wanahisije? Je, wanafikiri nini? Je, furaha na huzuni zao ni zipi? Haya ni maswali ambayo mara nyingi nimekuwa nayo niliposoma marejeleo ya maandiko kwa Daudi. <\/span><\/p>\n

Brooks aliendeleza shauku yake na kisha akaanza utafiti wake wa David wakati mtoto wake alionyesha hamu ya kucheza kinubi. Kuna mifano michache ya kiume kwa hili. Aliongozwa na roho ya kumchunguza kwa undani zaidi Mfalme Daudi, mwanamume aliyempenda Mungu na aliyejulikana pia kwa vipawa vyake akiwa mtunga mashairi, mwimbaji, na mpiga kinubi. Miaka kumi baadaye, baada ya kutembelea Nchi Takatifu pamoja na mwanawe, alichapisha <\/span>Chord ya Siri<\/span><\/i>. Mume wangu na mimi tulihudhuria mjadala wake wa kitabu na kutia sahihi katika Shule ya Marafiki ya Sidwell huko Bethesda, Md., katika msimu wa joto wa 2015, ambapo alielezea safari yake ya kibinafsi zaidi ya miaka kumi ya utafiti na uandishi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Huko Sidwell, Brooks aliulizwa kuhusu hitaji la kiwango cha vurugu katika hadithi. Brooks alikubali jinsi ilivyo vigumu kuelewa kiwango hicho cha vurugu. Hata hivyo, alisema kwamba matukio yanayoonyeshwa katika kitabu chake yalitokana na uchunguzi wa ulimwengu wa Mfalme Daudi mwaka wa 1000 KWK. Lilikuwa jambo la kuhuzunisha sana kukumbushwa juu ya kiwango cha jeuri ambacho kilikuwa cha kawaida na kilichokubalika katika enzi hii, na pia imani kwamba baadhi yake ziliidhinishwa na Mungu. Muulizaji kutoka kwa watazamaji alikuwa mume wa Brooks, mwandishi wa habari na mwandishi Tony Horwitz, mhitimu wa Sidwell Friends. <\/span><\/p>\n

Brooks mwenyewe aligeukia Uyahudi wakati wa ndoa yake, au ”alishawishika,” kama sisi Marafiki tunavyoweza kusema. Amejikita katika kujifunza Dini ya Kiyahudi, na wasomaji wananufaika na safari yake ya imani na pia uwezo wake wa ajabu wa kusimulia hadithi. <\/span><\/p>\n

Katika<\/span>
\n Chord ya Siri<\/span>
\n<\/i>, pia anasimulia hadithi ya Bathsheba, akifungua mitazamo mipya juu ya jukumu lake katika Nyumba ya Daudi. Wanawake wengine katika maisha ya Daudi na Natani wanapewa madaraka makubwa, na tunaalikwa kuungana naye katika kuwazia mawazo, hisia, shangwe, na huzuni zao za ndani kabisa. <\/span><\/p>\n

Brooks anafunua waziwazi kwa msomaji ubinadamu wa Daudi: dosari zake, karama, upendo wa Mungu, na hamu ya kumpendeza Mungu. Anataka kumpendeza Mungu, lakini mvuto kutoka kwa utamaduni wake, historia yake, na biolojia yake, humshinda na mara nyingi anashindwa. Majuto yake makubwa yalionyeshwa mara kwa mara katika ombi kwa Mungu, kama katika Zaburi 38: <\/span><\/p>\n

Ninaungama uovu wangu; Ninafadhaishwa na dhambi yangu. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ni wengi walio adui zangu hodari;<\/span><\/p>\n

wanaonichukia bila sababu ni wengi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wale wanaonilipa wema wangu kwa ubaya<\/span><\/p>\n

kunitukana ninapofuata mema.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ee Bwana, usiniache; usiwe mbali nami, Ee Mungu wangu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Njoo upesi kunisaidia, Ee Bwana, Mwokozi wangu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brooks pia anavuta hisia kwenye upendo wa Daudi kwa Yonathani (Yonatan). Anatoa kina fulani kwa uhusiano huu unaofafanuliwa katika 2 Samweli (\u201cupendo wako ulikuwa wa ajabu kwangu kuliko upendo wa wanawake\u201d) kupitia maelezo ya Natani ya zawadi ya Daudi ya kuimba anapoomboleza kifo cha Yonathani. Anatoa taswira ambayo ilivutia sana mawazo yangu: \u201cule mwali mkali wa dhahabu inayometa. Ungeweza kusambaza mwanga na joto . . . sauti hiyo ingeweza kuita nguvu nyingi hivi kwamba haikukumbuka mwanga wa jua bali umeme.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Wengi wetu tunamjua Mfalme Daudi kupitia Zaburi 73 alizoandika na kuimba, zikiambatana na kinubi. Kupitia kusimulia tena kwa Brooks hadithi ya Mfalme Daudi, nilivutiwa na akaunti nyingine za kimaandiko. Pia niliongozwa kujihusisha na rabi wa eneo hilo ili kusikia maoni yake kuhusu kitabu hicho na hadithi ya Mfalme Daudi. Brooks alinileta kwa ufahamu wa kina wa David na mitazamo mipya juu ya wanawake katika maisha yake. Uzoefu wangu mwenyewe wa \u201cna Mungu\u201d umeboreshwa. <\/span><\/p>\n
