Synopsis
The author of the runaway bestseller How the Irish Saved Civilization has done it again. In The Gifts of the Jews Thomas Cahill takes us on another enchanting journey into history, once again recreating a time when the actions of a small band of people had repercussions that are still felt today. The Gifts of the Jews reveals the critical change that made western civilization possible. Within the matrix of ancient religions and philosophies, life was seen as part of an endless cycle of birth and death; time was like a wheel, spinning ceaselessly. Yet somehow, the ancient Jews began to see time differently. For them, time had a beginning and an end; it was a narrative, whose triumphant conclusion would come in the future. From this insight came a new conception of men and women as individuals with unique destinies--a conception that would inform the Declaration of Independence--and our hopeful belief in progress and the sense that tomorrow can be better than today. As Thomas Cahill narrates this momentous shift, he also explains the real significance of such Biblical figures as Abraham and Sarah, Moses and the Pharaoh, Joshua, Isaiah, and Jeremiah. Full of compelling stories, insights and humor, The Gifts of the Jews is an irresistible exploration of history as fascinating and fun as How the Irish Saved Civilization., NATIONAL BESTSELLER * The author of the runaway bestseller How the Irish Saved Civilization takes us on another "captivating...persuasive as well as entertaining" journey into history ( The New York Times) , recreating a time when the actions of a small band of people had repercussions that are still felt today.

- o***6 (137)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaMy item, an 8-Track tape carrying case, arrived in excellent condition and was exactly as described by the seller. It was packed very well and survived being rough handed by the USPS. The cost of shipping was very reasonable and the price of the item was considerably less than similar items from other sellers. I would not hesitate to buy from this seller again and I highly recommend them. Thank you for such a positive transaction.
