Future Tense Now on Sale

Future Tense Now on Sale

In Future Tense, now on sale from Schocken Books, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, one of the most admired religious thinkers of our time, issues a call for world Jewry to reject the self-fulfilling image of “a people alone in the world, surrounded by enemies” and to reclaim Judaism’s original sense of purpose: as a partner with God and with those of other faiths in the never-ending struggle for freedom and social justice for all. This book is “sorely needed,” says The Guardian.

NYTBR Rave for Appelfeld

NYTBR Rave for Appelfeld

In a fantastic piece in this Sunday’s (3/21) New York Times Book Review, David Leavitt says the following about Aharon Appelfeld’s Blooms of Darkness, now on sale from Schocken Books:

Like Anne Frank’s diary—a work to which it will draw justified comparison—Blooms of Darkness, beautifully translated by Jeffrey M. Green, records a brutal process of education. . . . It is in his rendering of the border territory that Hugo and Mariana inhabit that Appelfeld reveals his compassion, his wisdom, and his restraint. . . . Majestic and humane.”

Blooms of Darkness Now on Sale

Aharon Appelfeld’s Blooms of Darkness, a “gripping tale of Holocaust survival,” (The Forward ) is now on sale from Schocken Books. Philip Roth calls Appelfeld “fiction’s foremost chronicler of the Holocaust,” and Poets & Writers recently named him one of the Fifty Most Inspiring Authors in the World. In his searing new novel, Appelfeld once again crafts out of the depths of unfathomable tragedy a renewal of life and a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.
