Reseña del editor:

'Everything I believe in has come from the Kabbalah' - Roseanne Barr This is the story of Sabbatai Sevi, a rabbi from Izmir, the Aegean port of Turkey, who in the seventeenth century convinced multitudes of Jews that he was the long-awaited Messiah, but then disappointed them when he embraced Islam on threat of execution by the Turkish sultan. However, many of his followers continued to believe in him and some converted to Islam, beginning the sect known as the Dönme, outwardly Muslim, yet still clinging secretly to their Judaism. More than three centuries after his death, the esoteric Jewish mystic tradition known as the Kabbalah is still very much alive.
