Judith Triumphant Tthe foot of a mountain an army of one hundred and thirty -five thousand men lay encamped, waiting for a few thousand Hebrews to die of thirst and hunger. For Holofernes, war-lord of the Great King, checked in his southwesterly advance on Egypt, had declared that Bethulia must fall. And both besiegers and besieged were too accustomed to the triumph of that King to doubt the issue.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book follows Judith, a devout widow celebrated for her beauty and bravery, as she navigates the political struggles and violence of her time. The author places Judith's story within its broader historical and literary context, drawing parallels to other tales of female heroism and exploring themes of identity, faith, and the role of women in war. In a world where strength is measured by the sword, Judith's journey challenges traditional gender roles, inviting readers to question the nature of courage, self-sacrifice, and the human capacity for both good and evil. She becomes emblematic of the strength and resilience of the Jewish people in the face of adversity while contributing to the broader literary tradition that examines women's experiences and societal expectations.
