Elie in Stride
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Elie Weisel mines the Tanakh, Talmud, and hasidic legends for characters to analyze under his astute microscope. Weisel's prose is always magnificent, and this book is no different. He turns the texts and traditions over, this way and that, finding that we really didn't know what we thought we did about these characters. Under Weisel's skilled pen, the kingdom of darkness haunts the background of these tales, adding poignancy to events long past.
