Présentation de l'éditeur
A family saga with a difference, The Book of Abraham opens on the backdrop of a burning Jerusalem in 70 CE as Abraham the Temple scribe flees the destruction of his home. Two thousand years and a hundred generations later, another Abraham perishes, immolated in the fires of the Warsaw Ghetto. But the chain that links these two Abrahams - a chain that stretches from Jerusalem to Warsaw through Rome, Alexandria, France and Greece - is one of family ties, and the unforgettable, powerful and poignant story that is told is that of one family; the author's own. This is a new edition of a phenomenal bestseller that has already sold over 5 million copies worldwide.

Hard Cover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Black cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. Map end papers.No owner's inscription. 722 pages clean and tight. The Book of Abraham is a dazzling work of historical fiction which spans two thousand years and a hundred generations of one Jewish family. It is also the fulfilment of a spectacular undertaking, for it is the history of Marek Halter's own family which has been traced. The book opens in 70 A.D. The legionnaires of the Emperor Titus are laying waste to Jerusalem after long years of siege and, after great hesitation and anguish, the scribe Abraham flees the burning city. It ends in 1943 when the printer Abraham Halter - the author's grandfather - perishes in the flames of the Warsaw Ghetto. In each of the intervening generations, at least one man follows the calling of the initiator of the family scroll. Scribe turns printer, and from the fifteenth century onwards The Book of Abraham is based on the Halter family records, revealing extraordinary documentary evidence about their lives. The descendants of the first Abraham travel from Alexandria to Rome, to Carthage and Constantinople, to Toledo, Troyes and Strasbourg, to Soncino, Amsterdam and Paris, and finally to Poland - places as vividly drawn as the characters involved. The result is a magnificent and biblical tale of ordinary men and women - peasants and bankers, workers and merchants, poets and scholars - whose lives, governed throughout by religion and exile, are recounted against the background of the great events of the past. As history and as fiction, The Book of Abraham is an epic both in its scope and its execution. Size: Lge 8vo. N° de réf. du vendeur 117745
