A tie-in to the PBS and BBC series The Story of the Jews. It is a story like no other: an epic of endurance against destruction, of creativity in oppression, joy amidst grief, the affirmation of life against the steepest of odds. It spans the millennia and the continents, from India to Andalusia and from the bazaars of Cairo to the streets of Oxford. It takes you to unimagined places: to a Jewish kingdom in the mountains of southern Arabia; a Syrian synagogue glowing with radiant wall paintings; the palm groves of the Jewish dead in the Roman catacombs. And its voices ring loud and clear, from the severities and ecstasies of the Bible writers to the love poems of wine bibbers in a garden in Muslim Spain. And a great story unfolds. Not, as often imagined, of a culture apart, but of a Jewish world immersed in and imprinted by the peoples among whom they have dwelled, from the Egyptians to the Greeks, from the Arabs to the Christians. Which makes the story of the Jews everyone's story, too. -- From publisher's description. 000718482 650_0 $$aJews$$xHistory. 000718482 7300_ $$iComplemented by (work):$$aStory of the Jews (Television program) 000718482 85200 $$bgen$$hDS118$$i.S3165$$i2013b 000718482 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:718482$$pGLOBAL_SET 000718482 980__ $$aBIB 000718482 980__ $$aBOOK
