Hard Cover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Black cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. Map end papers.No owner's inscription. 722 pages clean and tight. The Book of Abraham is a dazzling work of historical fiction which spans two thousand years and a hundred generations of one Jewish family. It is also the fulfilment of a spectacular undertaking, for it is the history of Marek Halter's own family which has been traced. The book opens in 70 A.D. The legionnaires of the Emperor Titus are laying waste to Jerusalem after long years of siege and, after great hesitation and anguish, the scribe Abraham flees the burning city. It ends in 1943 when the printer Abraham Halter - the author's grandfather - perishes in the flames of the Warsaw Ghetto. In each of the intervening generations, at least one man follows the calling of the initiator of the family scroll. Scribe turns printer, and from the fifteenth century onwards The Book of Abraham is based on the Halter family records, revealing extraordinary documentary evidence about their lives. The descendants of the first Abraham travel from Alexandria to Rome, to Carthage and Constantinople, to Toledo, Troyes and Strasbourg, to Soncino, Amsterdam and Paris, and finally to Poland - places as vividly drawn as the characters involved. The result is a magnificent and biblical tale of ordinary men and women - peasants and bankers, workers and merchants, poets and scholars - whose lives, governed throughout by religion and exile, are recounted against the background of the great events of the past. As history and as fiction, The Book of Abraham is an epic both in its scope and its execution. Size: Lge 8vo.

Also includes Index. His first book, a political autobiography, Le Fou et les Rois (The Jester and the Kings) was awarded the Prix Aujourd'hui in 1976. From 1951, when he first visited Israel, until today, Marek Halter has been both a staunch supporter of Israel and, at the same time, a fierce advocate of Arab rights. An Impossible position? Difficult, surely, but as this moving memoir shows, not impossible. This eloquent work offers both a political history of those three turbulent decades and a personal memoir attesting to the fact that one man, armed only with conviction and desire, can help change the face of history. Marek Halter is a French writer and activist, known best for his historical novels, which have been translated into English, Polish, Hebrew, and many other languages. He was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1936. During World War II, he and his parents escaped from the Warsaw Ghetto and fled to the Soviet Union, spending the remainder of the war in Ukraine, Moscow and finally in Kokand, in Uzbekistan. In 1946 the family returned to Poland and in 1950, they emigrated to France, taking up residence in Paris. He studied pantomime under Marcel Marceau. He was admitted to the École nationale des beaux-arts to study painting. In 1954, he received the Deauville international prize, and was also awarded a prize at the Biennale d'Ancone. His first international exhibit was in 1955 in Buenos Aires, and he remained in that city for 2 years, returning to France in 1957, where he engaged in political journalism and advocacy. Derived from a Kirkus review: A recounting of his efforts over the years to promote Arab-Israeli understanding. Here is the depiction of a man obsessed with bringing about an Arab-Israeli rapprochement. Many of the pages deal with missed opportunities, unfulfilled initiatives, chronic misunderstandings. Some of the most effective passages relate to the student riots that swept Paris in 1968. Here, Halter is able to capture in telling images the excitement and idealistic strivings of the time. Elsewhere, his book is interesting as a self-portrait of a dedicated man. First English Language Edition [stated]. First printing [stated].
