Lucena / by Ben Harosh, Mosheh,author.(CARDINAL)866935; Ben Harosh, Mosheh,author.(CARDINAL)866935;
Lucena es un viaje interior hacia el porqué del exilio y es un camino moderno salpicado de diálogos, poemas, relatos y varias tramas argumentales, todo bajo la solemne sombra de un personaje que se llama Lucena y que tiene 1000 años. Un rico cosmos literario al servicio del hedonismo de quien desee aprender y disfrutar al mismo tiempo. Allí, en Elí Hoshaana. Dios nos salve - empezó la hegemonía del judaísmo en Sefarad y terminó la de Babilonia. Ciento cincuenta años de una ciudad judía, fuerte y próspera, la ciudad de la fe y del culto a Dios, de verdad no como hoy en día. La ciudad de mis antepasados y de los tuyos, una ciudad olvidada, ni tan importante ni dramática, ni Toledo ni Granada, pero entonces, en el siglo XI, era la ciudad de los judíos y nadie creía que pudiera ser una ciudad sin judíos.

Dinner at the center of the earth / by Englander, Nathan,author.(CARDINAL)345380;
"A prisoner in a secret cell. The guard who has watched over him a dozen years. An American waitress in Paris. A young Palestinian man in Berlin who strikes up an odd friendship with a wealthy Canadian businessman. And The General, Israel's most controversial leader, who lies dying in a hospital, the only man who knows of the prisoner's existence. From these vastly different lives Nathan Englander has woven a portrait of a nation riven by insoluble conflict, even as the lives of its citizens become fatefully and inextricably entwined--a political thriller of the highest order that interrogates the anguished, violent division between Israelis and Palestinians, and dramatizes the immense moral ambiguities haunting both sides. Who is right, who is wrong--who is the guard, who is truly the prisoner?"--940L

Jewish noir : tales of crime and other dark deeds. by Wishnia, K. J. A.,editor.(CARDINAL)646115; Osman, Chantelle Aimée,editor.(CARDINAL)898171;
"Jewish Noir II is unique collection of twenty-three all-new stories (and one reprint) by Jewish and non-Jewish literary and genre writers, including numerous award-winning authors such as Gabriela Alemán, Doug Allyn, Rita Lakin, Rabbi Ilene Schneider, E.J. Wagner, and Kenneth Wishnia, with a foreword by MWA Grand Master Lawrence Block. The stories explore such issues as the perpetual challenge of confronting resurgent anti-Semitism in the US, the enduring legacy of regional warfare in the land of Israel since biblical times, how the "entitled" behavior of certain ultra-Orthodox communities can fuel anti-Semitic attitudes, Jewish support of the civil rights movement, greedy Jewish businessmen who reinforce negative ethnic stereotypes, the excesses of "golden ghetto" American Jews, the appeal of "tough" Israeli-Jewish soldiers and mercenaries, how real estate fortunes are made, and the consequences of political corruption that feed into an exploitive system, how obsession can lead "good" people to do "bad" things. The stories in this collection include many "teachable moments" about the history of prejudice, and the contradictions of ethnic identity and assimilation into American society."--
