According to the story, a united human race speaking a single language and migrating eastward, comes to the land of Shinar (). There they agree to build a city and a tower with its top in the sky. Yahweh, observing their city and tower, confounds their speech so that they can no longer understand each other, and scatters them around the world.

After a perilous journey ever-upwards, he finds that he has reemerged back at the surface, some distance from the Tower, rather than in Heaven as expected. Reception "Tower" won the 1991 Neb ...

The Tower Of Babble
''The Tower of Babble: Sins, Secrets and Successes inside the CBC'' is a Canadian non-fiction book written by Richard Stursberg. The book is a memoir detailing Stursberg's experience as the vice-president in charge of English services at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) between October 2004 and August 2010. Stursberg was recruited by CBC president Robert Rabinovitch who understood and supported Stursberg's intention to move the CBC's focus more towards producing popular content with success and failure defined by the number of people who watch, rather than awards or critical praise. The book covers a range of topics relating to CBC, including acquiring popular shows, like ''Little Mosque on the Prairie'' and '' Heartland'', for CBC Television, modernizing news coverage at CBC News, adjustments to CBC Radio, and CBC Sports losing broadcasting rights to its competitors. This tell-all memoir was called entertaining but was met with mixed reviews. While it was valued as a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Tower Of Babel (novel)
''The Tower of Babel'' (1968) is a novel by Australian writer Morris West. Plot summary The novel is set in the Middle East on the brink of war. The story begins with a border incident that is followed by an Israeli invasion of Jordan. Critical reception John Graham, writing in ''The Canberra Times'', noted changes in the writer's style: "The atmosphere of dramatic fiction which pervades this novel is a far cry from his earlier works, notably ''Children of the Sun'' and ''The Devil's Advocate''. Since those admirable and essentially simple studies of the Christian conscience he has moved towards the political novel with more enthusiasm than aptitude. His simpler themes earned him his original reputation." The reviewer in ''Kirkus Reviews'' found the novel less than impressive: "Easy to read, easy to forget. Written to formula, devoid of inspiration. Coated over with a shopworn eloquence which only serves to undermine the author's long-standing and convincing moral concerns." ...
