King Solomon, the wisest of the wise, is a symbol of the wisdom of the entire human race. The era of his reign was imbued with the charm of the image of a majestic ruler. The people experienced a period of peaceful construction, trade relations were brought to perfection, the Temple was created, uniting the people of Israel and Judea into a spiritual whole, and the main books of the Old Testament were compiled. Feelings of legality and justice were rooted in the minds of people. The author of the book, Friedrich Tyberger, a world-famous Hebraist scholar, friend and interlocutor of Franz Kafka, does not set himself the task of unreasonable exaltation. He critically evaluates the sources from the standpoint of modern historical knowledge, and his subtle and deep analysis of ancient texts reveals the piercing tragedy of the insurmountable loneliness of the wisest of the wise.
