Author: Dr. Marcus Lehmann

211-page book

Description:

A story of Jewish heroism during the time of the Spanish Inquisition.

One of the most fascinating chapters in Jewish history is the story of the Marranos in Spain and Portugal. Although they professed their new faith, they secretly continued to practice Judaism. With extraordinary courage, they remained steadfast in the faith of their ancestors, at the risk of being denounced and subjected to the horrors of the Inquisition.

In this historical novel, Rabbi Marcus Lehmann paints a portrait of the Spanish Jewish community in the early ^18th century under the Inquisition, through the dramatic and eventful story of one family. Rich in local color and astonishingly accurate in its historical detail, this work has been a classic for generations, now reprinted in a completely revised and annotated translation.
