MONDADORI 2002 MARGINI SUPERIORI DELLA SOVRACCOPERTA UN PO' STANCHI, LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO, OTTIME CONDIZIONI GENERALI Una storia travagliata lunga venti secoli: dalla conquista della Giudea a opera di Pompeo fino agli inizi del XX secolo. E' la storia degli ebrei che Riccardo Calimani riassume e racconta in questo libro, spiegando chi sono gli ebrei, ma facendo emergere in controluce la stessa storia dell'occidente cristiano. Da Gesù al falso messia Shabbetai Zevi, dall'epopea marrana all'influenza ebraica sulla civiltà del Vecchio Continente, alternando avvenimenti cruciali al racconto di avvenimenti individuali e a grandi temi e controversie religiose.

Signed and inscribed by Jan Karski upon front free endpaper. Karski [1914-2000] recounts his experiences when his homeland of Poland was rent asunder by the joint Nazi and Soviet invasion of 1939, and his harrowing subsequent life as a member of the Polish underground, during which he was captured by the Gestapo and severely tortured. Provides a ghastly eyewitness account of life in the Warsaw ghetto, into which Karski was smuggled so his observations could be reported to the outside world. Firearms advocates will cringe at Karski's account of what happened after he and a large group of Polish soldiers handed over their weapons to their 'comrades' from the Soviet Union. In 2012 Karski was posthumously awarded America's highest civilan honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, by President Obama. 391 pages. Moderate wear to publisher's red cloth. Dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. Binding intact. A sound copy of this truly unforgettable WWII narrative.
