An Epitaph for German Judaism: From Halle to Jerusalem (Modern Jewish Philosophy and Religion: Translations and Critical Studies) (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "An Epitaph for German Judaism: From Halle to Jerusalem (Modern Jewish Philosophy and Religion: Translations and Critical Studies) (en Inglés)"
From Agate Nesaule, acclaimed by writers across the globe from Doris Lessing to Tim O Brien, comes a long-awaited novel. In Love with Jerzy Kosinski is a story of courage and persistence, exploring in fiction the themes that gripped readers of Nesaule s award-winning memoir, A Woman in Amber. After fleeing Latvia as a child, Anna Duja escapes Russian confinement in displaced persons camps and eventually arrives in America. Years later, she finds herself in a different kind of captivity on isolated Cloudy Lake, Wisconsin, living with her disarming but manipulative husband, Stanley. Inspired by the transformation of Polish-Jewish emigre Jerzy Kosinski from persecuted wartime escapee to celebrity author in America, Anna slips away from Stanley and Cloudy Lake in small steps: learning to drive, making friends, moving to Madison, falling in love, and learning to forgive. Readers will applaud the book s power, the beauty of its prose, and its strong evocation of a woman gradually finding her way in the wake of trauma.Winner, the Chancellor s Regional Literary Award, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater"
