Richard Hewitt moved from California to Kyrgyzstan in 1994 to teach in Bishkek's Academy of Agriculture and was given the name Risbek. One rural Kyrgyz family "adopted" him. In this rural context Hewitt started noticing the similarities between Hebrew Patriarchs and Kyrgyz nomads. Hewitt presented the chapters of 'Manas - Lost & Found' at academic conferences in Kyrgyzstan and became a public figure because of his essays and books. He spent nearly 20 years in Kyrgyzstan. The author's analysis of Kyrgyzstan's extraordinary epic Manas is set apart from the work of other foreign scholars because of his accurate perspective and research into the ancient spirituality of Kyrgyzstan's forefathers and their nomadic ways. Rural Kyrgyz, far from the Judeo-Christian world, have many striking biblical traditions. A comparative analysis of Kyrgyzstan's national epic Manas and Hebrew scripture reinforces the bond; especially obvious is the similarity between a biblical patriarch "Manasseh son of Jacob" and the Kyrgyz hero "Manas son of Jakyb. "Manas also had a exodus that is comparable to Moses' exodus. Strikingly, both leaders moved their people with 600,000 foot soldiers. 'Manas - Lost & Found' touches on an unending stream of similarities, many that cannot be categorized by Carl Jung's theories or classified as archetypes. The chapters in this book were essays presented at academic conferences in Kyrgyzstan. The topic was in Central Asia's news for several years. N° de réf. du vendeur 79178
