An Entity of Type: book, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

The Book of Urizen is one of the major prophetic books of the English writer William Blake, illustrated by Blake's own plates. It was originally published as The First Book of Urizen in 1794. Later editions dropped the "First". The book takes its name from the character Urizen in Blake's mythology, who represents alienated reason as the source of oppression. The book describes Urizen as the "primeaval priest" and narrates how he became separated from the other Eternals to create his own alienated and enslaving realm of religious dogma. Los and Enitharmon create a space within Urizen's fallen universe to give birth to their son Orc, the spirit of revolution and freedom.

dbo:abstract
  • The Book of Urizen (El llibre d'Urizen) és un dels anomenats "llibres profètics" de William Blake. Il·lustrat amb les seues pròpies planxes de gravats al burí, es publicà primerament com The First Book of Urizen (El primer llibre d'Urizen) al 1794, i aquest títol es modificà en les edicions posteriors. Considerat en molts aspectes, en format com en contingut, una versió heterodoxa del Gènesi, en aquest poema, Blake explora els temes fonamentals de l'epistemologia i l'ontologia, i Urizen és la personificació de la saviesa convencional i la llei.

  • The Book of Urizen (El libro de Urizen) es uno de los llamados Libros proféticos de William Blake. Ilustrado con sus propias planchas de grabados a buril, fue publicado originalmente como The First Book of Urizen (El primer libro de Urizen) en 1794, aunque este título se modificó para las ediciones posteriores. Considerado en muchos aspectos, tanto en formato como en contenido, una versión héterodoxa del Génesis, a través de este poema, Blake explora los temas fundamentales de la epistemología y la ontología,​ siendo Urizen la personificación de la encarnación de la sabiduría convencional y la ley.

  • The Book of Urizen (euskaraz: «Urizen-en liburua») William Blake-ren deiturikoetako bat da. Bere plantxekin ilustratua, jatorriz The First Book of Urizen (euskaraz: «Urizen-en lehenengo liburua») izenarekin argitaratu zen 1794an, nahiz eta izenburu hori ondorengo edizioetarako aldatu zen. Alderdi askotan, formatuan zein edukian, Hasieraren bertsio heterodoxoa dela kontuan hartuta, poema honen bidez, Blake-k epistemologiaren eta ontologiaren oinarrizko gaiak aztertzen ditu, izanik gorpuztearen pertsonifikazioa eta legea.

Los and Enitharmon create a space within Urizen's fallen universe to give birth to their son Orc, the spirit of revolution and freedom. In form the book is a parody of the Book of Genesis. Urizen's first four sons are Thiriel, Utha, Grodna and Fuzon (respectively elemental Air, Water, Earth, Fire, according to Chapter VIII). The last of these plays a major role in The Book of Ahania, published in 1795. (en)
