Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:
ambitious novel to date, Phillips creates a dazzling kaleidoscope of historical fiction, one that illuminates the dark legacy of Europe's obsession with race and blood. At the center of The Nature of Blood is a young woman, a Nazi death camp survivor, devastated by the loss of everyone she loves. Her story is interwoven with a cast of characters from both the present and past: her uncle Stephan, Othello the Moorish general, three Jews in 15th century Venice, and an Ethiopian Jew struggling for acceptance in contemporary Israel. Tracing these characters through disparate lands and centuries, Phillips creates an unforgettable group portrait of individuals overwhelmed by the force of European tribalism.
"An extraordinarily perceptive and intelligent novel, and a haunting one."--New York Times

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. First American. New York, NY, Knopf, 1998. First American edition. SIGNED BY AUTHOR. 8vo. Paperback in black and deep red/decorated cardboard sleeve, 212 pages. A German Jewish girl whose life and death are shaped by the atrocities of World War II her uncle, who undermines the sureties of his own life in order to fight for Israeli statehood.the Jews of the sixteenth century Venetian ghetto, trapped both literally and figuratively by rabid prejudice.Othello, newly arrived in Venice.a young Ethiopian Jewish woman resettled in Israel: these are the people whose stories fill The Nature of Blood and who, despite their clear differences, share the weight of memory as burden and sustenance. Their individual voices speak out profound depths of feeling about their worlds and their experiences of persecution, courage, and betrayal. But they move beyond the particulars of their stories as well, their voices twining in an intricate narrative fabric that tells the larger story of ethnic hatred and racism; of the power of faith and the shock of its loss; of the cruel patterns of repetition that mar humankind's history, and the crystalline significance of each individual within its sweep.
