A propos du livre

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.
