Chronicle To Books Sepharad

En estas páginas Primo Levi, Franz Kafka, Evgenia Ginzburg, Milena Jesenska, Dolores Ibárruri o Walter Benjamin mezclan sus tragedias con las de personajes ficticios. Todos ellos comparten un estigma: un día despiertan convertidos en lo que otros cuentan de ellos, en lo que alguien que no les ha conocido cuenta que le han contado, en lo que alguien que les odia imagina que son. Perseguidos por la infamia y arrojados de su casa y de su país, se ven obligados a abandonar sus vidas. Sefarad, nombre que en la tradición hebrea se da a España, designa aquí todos los exilios posibles. El Holocausto y el nazismo, el Gulag, la guerra civil española, el Imperio austrohúngaro, la Inquisición y la expulsión de los judíos articulan a través de cada capítulo una sinfonía en la que la idea coral es una sola: la intolerancia, la persecución y la irracionalidad que asolan la historia de la humanidad, y que dan lugar al título. Antonio Muñoz Molina nos ofrece una aproximación al mundo de los excluidos a través de este homenaje a la memoria.

Assessment Of Books Sepharad

I found this book extremely interesting, as well as very relevant to our current political climate: in making allusions as well as direct references to the plight of Jews in Europe (in Spain--hence the title--but also in Germany, France, Italy, Portugal and various countries in Eastern Europe), Antonio Muñoz Molina makes us think about how it feels to be deported, exiled, persecuted and discriminated against. More than a novel, it is a collection of short stories with a "tenuous thread"

need to put this book in the stack for a while. i read about 100 pages and realized that it would be better for me to finish another time. it's just my kind of book though and so far very good. i'm happy to report i have read most of the references so i have a good grasp of the stories. sometimes it pays to be a bookworm!!!So glad i picked this back up to read. It's enthralling in the best possible way. Special recommendation thanks for youknowwhoyouare :)

"Sepharad" is one of the most beautifully written books I have read in a *long* time--most refreshing for a reader who loves language and history. My only problem with this book is that it was billed as a novel. Those looking for a linear tale of suspense that takes place in single setting will be disappointed in this book. This is not a page-turner, but it is worth the work. It reads more like a collection of prose poems linked by characters that appear, disappear, and reappear, mirroring their

I just started reading this book. I loved reading the writer's musings about travel and what travel teaches us. The comments about travel and especially train travel resonated deeply with me. I was filled with longing for the city of Madrid after reading only a few pages. I think the writing style is what most appeals to me. It is not difficult for me to read the Spanish, although the stories skip around at random, a lot like how my brain works.

One of the most interesting books I have ever read. Never mind his fabulous writing style, but the window into a Jewish man's life in the 20th century, and the history that brought him and his family full circle from Spain, to Communist Russia, and eventually to New York. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

"Without your knowledge, other people usurp stories or fragments from your life, episodes you think you've kept in a sealed chamber of your memory and yet are told by people you may not even know, people who have heard them and repeat them, modify them, adapt them according to their whim or how carefully they listened, or for certain comic or slanderous effect. Somewhere, right this minute, someone is telling something very personal about me, something he witnessed years ago but that I probably

This is a very hard book to read. It deals mainly with alienation, yearning for a lost past/land, loss, and genocide. I had to take it in small doses or it can really pull you down, because although there are some glimmers of hope and joy, they are small and far between.I have shelved it as short stories because this is not an usual novel. It is a series of almost-real and real stories, all dealing with the idea of the lost country, the one we left behind, whether it is childhood, youth,
