Book, Golem, O[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. At the time when the famous sage and kabbalist Rabbi Leib the Maharal served as rabbi in the old city of Prague, the Jews suffered much persecution. This is how Isaac Bashevis Singer, 1978 Nobel Prize winner for literature, begins to retell the legend of The Golem. And through the hands of a master of Jewish and contemporary literary narration, the story of the clay giant, enlivened by the mystical breath to defend a vilified and persecuted people, magically re-enchants, for the modern reader, the world of the 16th century Jewish ghetto, the mystical projections of his popular efabulations and of man's endless struggle to overcome and overcome, within himself, everything that oppresses and alienates him.
