from Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company
Price: $20.16
Customer Review:
As mentioned by others, John Collins is probably the leading scholar of apocalyptic literature, as well as other intertestamental Jewish writings. This volume remains the best, basic introduction to the scope of the vast literature and how it developed over several hundred years. Collins takes just... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Grove Press

Customer Review:
I read the book in Hebrew. Some of the details might have gone lost because I'm not fluent in Hebrew but I couldn't put down the book. I got sucked into it. It is one of the most disturbing stories I have ever read. It is a Holocaust story telling the story of Adam who lives in a psychiatric... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Elie Wiesel may be best known as the author of "Night", his harrowing and sparse account of his time spent in the concentration camps. His literary works have focused around the events that shaped Holocaust survivors and the questions those survivors had about their faith afterwards. His life's work... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I got this book because Nickelsburg is one of the leading scholars in intertestimental literature. In scholarly works, I expect a very exacting respect for the difference between fact and surmise. Nickelsburg knows his topic, but I found myself frustrated by his dedication to literary analysis, such... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 7. | ![]() | Mr. Mani
from Doubleday
Customer Review:
I read this book about 8 years ago and I still remember it as a favorite. Really the literary device of telling the story backwards in a series of five one sided conversations about the Mani family works wonders in offsetting and bringing you into their lives. You want to know more about them, but... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Harper Paperbacks
Price: $11.86
Customer Review:
I've come to Batya Gur late in my reading life and have relished every one of her mysteries but Murder on a Kibbutz is, in my opinion, her best. In addition to enjoying the pleasures of Michael Ohayon's company, we're introduced to a wonderful cast of kibbutz characters that, like Gur's Holocaust... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Ditching college class one day, I went to the local public library, plucked a random book from the shelf and found that it was, "Walker in the City." I knew nothing about Kazin and didn't especially enjoy memoir, but I checked out the book and took it home. There, Kazin drew me in, one page after... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
