Editorial Reviews
Review
?Fascinating . . . a wonderful rampage through history.??The New York Times
?James Michener is something rare and valuable: an honorable craftsman doing honorable work. . . . He manages
to make history vivid.??The Boston Globe
?Magnificent . . . a superlative piece of writing both in scope and technique. It is, in fact, one of the great books of this generation. . . . It will hold the interest of any reader, no matter what religion he may be.??San Francisco Call Bulletin --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Product Description
In the grand storytelling style that is his signature, James Michener sweeps us back through time to the very beginnings of the Jewish faith, thousands of years ago. Through the predecessors of four modern men and women, we experience the entire colorful history of the Jews, including the life of the early Hebrews and their persecutions, the impact of Christianity, the Crusades, and the Spanish Inquisition, all the way to the founding of present-day Israel and the Middle-East conflict.
"A sweeping chronology filled with excitement."
