Large, panoramic, rich with brilliant and moving detail, here is the four thousand-year history of the Jews. It is history pulsing with great events, alive with the sweep and turbulence of the centuries, from the remote past to the modern age. A masterpiece illustrating the infinite variety of Jewish life, the Jewish fate in many eras and places, and a grand vision of the whole of Jewish history. Au achievement in storytelling by the literary genius who wrote THE CHOSEN and MY NAME IS ASHER LEV.
