The Book of Exodus
The Israelites in Egypt are worked as slaves; a Hebrew raised in Pharaoh's household kills an overseer, flees to the desert, is called from a burning bush, and comes back to demand their release. Plagues, the passover, the parted sea, then the march to Sinai, the law, the golden calf and the plan for the tabernacle. The West's master-plot of liberation.
