Пра гэту электронную кнігу
The Goncourt Prize–winning novel of Jewish life and persecution from the twelfth century to WWII: “a powerful book—an eloquent and enduring testament” (Kirkus, starred review),
On March 11, 1185, in the old Anglican city of York, the Jews of the city were brutally massacred by their townsmen. As legend has it, God blessed the only survivor of this medieval pogrom, Rabbi Yom Tov Levy, as one of the Lamed-Vov, the thirty-six Just Men of Jewish tradition, a blessing which extended to one Levy of each succeeding generation.
In The Last of the Just, this terrifying and remarkable legacy is traced over eight centuries, from the Spanish Inquisition, to expulsions from England, France, Portugal, Germany, and Russia, and to the small Polish village of Zemyock, where the Levys settle for two centuries in relative peace.
It is in the twentieth century that Ernie Levy emerges, The Last of the Just, in 1920s Germany, as Hitler’s sinister star is on the rise and the agonies of Auschwitz loom on the horizon. First published in French in 1959, this classic work is one of those few novels that, once read, is never forgotten.
