Reseña del editor:

THE OFFER Dreams and Declarations; Triumphs and Tragedies. THE OFFER was originally published in 1981 by Doubleday & Co., 1982 by Berkley/Jove paperback. This exciting new edition, published by OuroborusBooks.biz, November 2013 (ISBN 978-149275 9669), has been REVISED AND UPDATED with a new cover designed by Peter Betts. An ADDED TIMELINE brings history up to date. Tautly written. a pageant as timeless as history, yet current as today's headlines, this sweeping saga explores the evolution of Israel. For a century, two families, the Arab Hammadis and the Jewish Nouaris shared a partnership in a vast financial empire and a homeland in Palestine under their common enemy, the Turks. As the old generation gives way to the new, the rise of Zionism creates insurmountable tensions. Ambitious in scope, even-handed in its depiction of the antecedent issues in the Arab/Israeli conflict that haunt us today, the Arab point of view is presented openly, fairly, which is refreshing. Some of Judah and Mohammed's exploits are particularly dramatic, well suited to film, especially the sequences set in Turkey and Nazi Germany. Many real historical figures (Goebbels, Churchill, Herzl, Lawrence of Arabia) interact with the characters. 'A magnificent novel, as rich in detail as it is sweeping in scope. Highly recommended.' Library Journal. July 1981
