Download or read book The Last of the Just written by Andre Schwarz-Bart and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2000-02-01 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Goncourt Prize–winning novel of Jewish life and persecution from the twelfth century to WWII: “a powerful book—an eloquent and enduring testament” (Kirkus, starred review), On March 11, 1185, in the old Anglican city of York, the Jews of the city were brutally massacred by their townsmen. As legend has it, God blessed the only survivor of this medieval pogrom, Rabbi Yom Tov Levy, as one of the Lamed-Vov, the thirty-six Just Men of Jewish tradition, a blessing which extended to one Levy of each succeeding generation. In The Last of the Just, this terrifying and remarkable legacy is traced over eight centuries, from the Spanish Inquisition, to expulsions from England, France, Portugal, Germany, and Russia, and to the small Polish village of Zemyock, where the Levys settle for two centuries in relative peace. It is in the twentieth century that Ernie Levy emerges, The Last of the Just, in 1920s Germany, as Hitler’s sinister star is on the rise and the agonies of Auschwitz loom on the horizon. First published in French in 1959, this classic work is one of those few novels that, once read, is never forgotten.

Download or read book Humorous Crosswords written by Cathy Millhauser and published by Sterling Publishing Company, Inc.. This book was released on 2003 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Puns can make you laugh or groan, but when they're clues to these challenging and fun crossword puzzles, they'll make you smile with satisfaction. Can you find the five-letter word for "a race that's always a tie"? (Answer: ASCOT.) How about the three-letter word for "performing a scull operation"? (Answer: ROW.) If you can get those in short order, how about moving on to a 10-letter word for "small fries." (That answer is MICROCHIP.) Most of the puzzles are built around themes with several related words such as vegetables, insects, or Dr. Seuss books. But watch out--the vegetables may be spelled backwards; the insects are puns; and some of the Dr. Seuss puzzle answers include FIGURE OF SNEETCH, GRINCH MEAN TIME, and LAUNCHED A WOCKET. You can find the answers in back, but they're scattered around to make it harder to cheat.
