From Jerusalem to the Edge of Heaven, Hardback Book

From Jerusalem to the Edge of Heaven Hardback

Hardback

Item not Available

Description

From Jerusalem to the Edge of Heaven fuses different media and styles to explore vastly different yet inescapably connected moments in Jewish history: the ancient Babylonian yeshivah at Pumbedita; Jerusalem, a decade after independence; and Gaza during the Intifada.

In his explorations, the author re-imagines essential concepts and defining structures of Jewish history and identity in profound, and profoundly disquieting, ways.

The theme of children pervades the writings - lost children, perpetual children, and one child, Alma Dee, in particular.

The theme of children is highlighted as well in the illustrations, details from Pieter Breughel’s Children’s Games.
