Jerusalem

A Beggar in Jerusalem. A Novel by Elie Wiesel. Transl. from the French by Lily Edelman and the Author.

Gutes Ex.; der illustr. Einband stw. minimalst berieben. - Englisch. - Elie Wiesel (geboren am 30. September 1928 in Sighetu Marmatiei, Königreich Rumänien; gestorben am 2. Juli 2016 in New York City, Vereinigte Staaten) war ein rumänisch-US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller, Hochschullehrer und Publizist. Als Überlebender des Holocausts verfasste er zahlreiche Romane und sonstige Publikationen zu diesem Thema und erhielt 1986 den Friedensnobelpreis für seine Vorbildfunktion im Kampf gegen Gewalt, Unterdrückung und Rassismus. ... (wiki) / When the Six-Day War began, Elie Wiesel rushed to Israel. "I went to Jerusalem because I had to go somewhere, I had to leave the present and bring it back to the past. You see, the man who came to Jerusalem then came as a beggar, a madman, not believing his eyes and ears, and above all, his memory." This haunting novel takes place in the days following the Six-Day War. A Holocaust survivor visits the newly reunited city of Jerusalem. At the Western Wall he encounters the beggars and madmen who congregate there every evening, and who force him to confront the ghosts of his past and his ties to the present. Weaving together myth and mystery, parable and paradox, Wiesel bids the reader to join him on a spiritual journey back and forth in time, always returning to Jerusalem. (Verlagstext) ISBN 0805210520
