People of the Book: A Novel

Geraldine Brooks

Inspired by a true story, People of the Book is a novel of sweeping historical grandeur and intimate emotional intensity by an acclaimed and beloved author. Called "a tour de force"by the San Francisco Chronicle, this ambitious, electrifying work traces the harrowing journey of the famed Sarajevo Haggadah, a beautifully illuminated Hebrew manuscript created in 15th-century Spain.

When it falls to Hanna Heath, an Australian rare-book expert, to conserve this priceless work, the series of tiny artifacts she discovers in its ancient binding - an insect wing fragment, wine stains, salt crystals, a white hair - only begin to unlock its deep mysteries and unexpectedly plunges Hanna into the intrigues of fine art forgers and ultra-nationalist fanatics.

La vita gioca con me

David Grossman

" Tuvia era mio nonno. Vera è mia nonna. Rafael, Rafi, mio padre, e Nina. . . Nina non c'è. Nina non è qui. È sempre stato questo il suo contributo particolare alla famiglia", annota Ghili nel suo quaderno.

Ma per la festa dei novant'anni di Vera, Nina è tornata; ha preso tre aerei che dall' Artico l'hanno portata al kibbutz, tra l'euforia di sua madre, la rabbia di sua figlia Ghili, e la venerazione immutata di Rafi, l'uomo che ancora, nonostante tutto, quando la vede perde ogni difesa. E questa volta sembra che Nina non abbia intenzione di fuggire via; ha una cosa urgente da comunicare. E una da sapere. Vuole che sua madre le racconti finalmente cosa è successo in Iugoslavia, nella "prima parte" della sua vita, quando, giovane ebrea croata, si è caparbiamente innamorata di Milo? , figlio di contadini serbi senza terra. E di quando Milo? è stato sbattuto in prigione con l'accusa di essere una spia stalinista. Vuole sapere perché Vera è stata deportata nel campo di rieducazione sull'isola di Goli Otok, abbandonandola all'età di sei anni e mezzo. Di più, Nina suggerisce di partire alla volta del luogo dell'orrore che ha risucchiato Vera per tre anni e che ha segnato il suo destino e poi quello della giovane Ghili.  

Il viaggio di Vera, Nina, Ghili e Rafi a Goli Otok finisce per trasformarsi in una drammatica resa dei conti e rompe il silenzio, risvegliando sentimenti ed emozioni con la violenza della tempesta che si abbatte sulle scogliere dell'isola. Un viaggio catartico affidato alle riprese di una videocamera, dove memoria e oblio si confondono in un'unica testimonianza imperfetta.

Con " La vita gioca con me", David Grossman ci ricorda che scegliere significa escludere e vivere è un continuo, maldestro tentativo di ricomporre. Un romanzo di intensità straordinaria, dove ogni pagina è grande letteratura.

The Hope

Herman Wouk

Starting in 1948 and reaching its climax during the Six-Day War of 1967, The Hope begins the story of Israel, a country fighting for its life - outmatched and surrounded by enemies. Zev Barak, Sam Pasternak, Don Kishote, and Benny Luria are all officers in the Israeli Army, caught up in the sweep of history, fighting the desperate desert battles and meeting the larger-than-life personalities that shaped Israel's fight for independence. The four heroes, and the women they love - three Israelis and one American - weave a compelling tapestry of individual destinies through the grand social history of one nation's struggle against the odds.  

Their story - and Israel's - is concluded in The Glory, which picks up from the Six-Day War and carries through to the hope for peace of the Camp David accords. In this two-part epic, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Herman Wouk brings out the passion, romance, and heroism of Israel's struggle for survival - adding to his oeuvre yet another enthralling saga that's impossible to put down.   

About the Author: Herman Wouk is one of the most widely-read American authors in the world. His books have been translated into 27 languages, and many of his works have become best sellers. He is perhaps best known for The Winds of War and War and Remembrance, an exhaustively-researched two-part historical series telling the story of World War I I from the perspective of two fictional families whose lives were irrevocably changed by the war and the Holocaust. Sixteen years in the making, the epic involved extensive archival research including travel for research to England, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Israel. The Winds of War and War and Remembrance were adapted for television in a 30-hour series that won the 1989 Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries and was, according to A B C, "the most watched television show in history. "  

Born in New York City to Russian-Jewish parents, Wouk graduated from Columbia University and started out working as a comedy writer for Fred Allen's radio show. After the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, he joined the Navy, serving in eight Pacific invasions and earning several battle stars. During his service in the Pacific he had turned to writing, like Lieutenant Keefer in The Caine Mutiny, for an hour or two before dawn. After his discharge in 1946, Wouk finished his first novel, which became a Book-of-the-Month Club selection, and he soon followed up with the international best sellers The Caine Mutiny, and Marjorie Morningstar.   

Wouk won the 1952 Pulitzer Prize for fiction for The Caine Mutiny. He has also been awarded numerous academic honors, including a degree from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In January 2001, U C San Diego established the Herman Wouk Chair of Modern Jewish Studies, and in 2008 he was given the first Library of Congress Lifetime Achievement Award for the Writing of Fiction.
