Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The Last Jew is a gripping piece of historical fiction, an authentic tale of high adventure, and an unforgettable love story. In the year 1492, the Spanish Inquisition has all of Spain in its grip. After centuries of riots encouraged by the Church, the Jews--who have been an important part of Spanish life since Roman times--are expelled from the country by royal edict. Many decide to convert to Catholicism to remain, but several hundred thousand choose exile to retain their faith. Given little time to flee, some perish before they can even escape the country. Yonah Toledano, the 15-year-old son of a celebrated Spanish silversmith, has seen his father and brother die during these terrible days--victims whose murders go almost unnoticed in a time of mass upheaval. Trapped in Spain by circumstances, he is determined to honor his family's memory by remaining a Jew. On a donkey named Moise, Yonah begins a meandering journey, a young fugitive zigzagging across the vastness of Spain. Toiling at manual labor, he desperately tries to cling to his memories of a vanished culture. As a lonely shepherd on a mountaintop, he hurls snatches of almost-forgotten Hebrew at the stars; as an apprentice armorer, he learns to fight like a Christian knight. Finally, as a man living in a land where danger from the Inquisition is everywhere, he must confront the ultimate questions of identity and survival. How he discovers the answers, how he finds his way to a singular and strong Marrano woman, and how he achieves a life with the outer persona of a respected Christian physician and the inner life of a secret crypto-Jew, is the fabric of this epic novel.…

Condizione: Good. He was a young American rabbi. She was his beautiful Christian wife. Together they tried to forge a life . . .  "This big, ambitious novel comes as close to matters of faith and life as any book that has appeared. . . . Excellent."--New York Post First and foremost, Michael Kind was a man--a courageous man with strong ideals and feelings, a family man devoted to his two children, a passionate man deeply in love with his wife Leslie. He'd already become a rabbi when he met Leslie, a minister's daughter. She fell in love with Michael and converted to Judaism to marry him. This is their story, a sweeping drama of love and identity, of compassion and cruelty, a searing tale of one man and one woman who must learn to cope with the complications of an unorthodox life in a world that will not accept them, in a world where rabbis and non-Jews do not fall in love--let alone marry . . .  "A human and enlightening portrait of a rabbi as a man, called upon constantly to be something more than a man: of a rabbi as a husband and father with the weakness and problems of other men . . . A rewarding reading experience."--Los Angeles Times.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. In the year 1492, the Inquisition has all of Spain in its grip. After centuries of pogrom-like riots encouraged by the Church, the Jews - who have been an important part of Spanish life since the days of the Romans - are expelled from the country by royal edict. Many who wish to remain are intimidated by Church and Crown and become Catholics, but several hundred thousand choose to retain their religion and depart; given little time to flee, some perish even before they can escape from Spain. Yonah Toledano, the 15-year-old son of a celebrated Spanish silversmith, has seen his father and brother die during these terrible days - victims whose murders go almost unnoticed in a time of mass upheaval. Trapped in Spain by circumstances, he is determined to honor the memory of his family by remaining a Jew. On a donkey named Moise, Yonah begins a meandering journey, a young fugitive zigzagging across the vastness of Spain. Toiling at manual labor, he desperately tries to cling to his memories of a vanished culture. As a lonely shepherd on a mountaintop he hurls snatches of almost forgotten Hebrew at the stars, as an apprentice armorer he learns to fight like a Christian knight. Finally, as a man living in a time and land where danger from the Inquisition is everywhere, he deals with the questions that mark his past. How he discovers the answers, how he finds his way to a singular and strong Marrano woman, how he achieves a life with the outer persona of a respected Old Christian physician and the inner life of a secret Jew, is the fabric of this novel. The Last Jew is a glimpse of the past, an authentic tale of high adventure, and a tender and unforgettable love story. In it, Noah Gordon utilizes his greatest strengths, and the result is remarkable and moving.…
