A Man Who Told Stories
$18.37
A tale of magical realism, the novel transits between historical events, fictional events, and folklore. Germany, 1937. Physics Professor Cohen has long enjoyed the respect of his colleagues. He hopes that the growth of hatred and violence all around him will be checked by the innate goodness that resides within people. However the cruelty and anger grow unabated. His position, as is the position of Jews throughout Germany, is under attack. Cohen enjoys telling stories. The tales are taken from the Talmud and Jewish folklore. They have great meaning to him, and he delights in telling them. The stories often seem more real to him than the events of the world that unfold around him. The stories echo in the outside world in odd ways. And events from the outside world reverberate in the stories... "A Man Who Tells Stories" deals with issues of faith, faithfulness, and faithlessness. It deals with kindness, caring, and compassion. As time marches on, the persecution of Jews in Germany escalates. It is obvious that war is coming. The very existence of Jews in Germany is threatened. From what quarter will help and assistance for Cohen and his family arrive?
