Description

The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon by Richard Zimler In 1506, the streets of Lisbon are gripped by fear and suspicion, and the discovery of Abraham Zarco's body sets off a chain of events that will lead to a thrilling investigation. A renowned kabbalist, Abraham was a target of persecution, and his murder is a stark reminder of the dangers faced by those who refused to conform. As Berekiah, a young manuscript illuminator, delves into the mystery of his uncle's death, he uncovers a complex web of secrets and lies that lead him deep into the heart of the Jewish community. With the kabbalah as his guide, Berekiah must navigate a treacherous landscape of intolerance and deception to uncover the truth. A gripping historical thriller, The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon is a powerful indictment of the evils of intolerance, and a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit.
