The Jewish invention of ethical monotheism led to the evolution of Judaism w/ its democratic philosophy & its notion of equality under the law. The Jews also played a major role in the creation of the modern world: in the origin of secular ideas; in the evolution of capitalism; in the exploration of the psyche; & in the revolutionary development of 19th- & 20th-century culture. Paul Johnson's book is not only a highly organized chronological account of these events but also a powerful & sustained analysis of Jewish emergence & persistence w/ all its strengths & contradictions. Throughout the book there is an interplay between Jewish history & Western history, & between the philosophical, ethical, religious, social & political notions of Judaic culture & those of Western culture. Every aspect of Jewish history is covered w/ detailed insights into events & individuals. From Moses & Jesus to Spinoza, Marx & Freud; from Sarah & Ruth to Rosa Luxembourg & Golda Meir; from Mahler, Kafka & Proust to the Rothschilds & Sassoons, here is the entire Jewish phenomenon in a brilliant historical narrative that is compelling & readable. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: PAUL JOHNSON, among the leading intellectuals of the 20th & 21st centuries, was educated at Stonyhurst College, Lancashire & Magdalen College, Oxford. He began his career as journalist editor & academic, & pursued a brilliant career as an intellectual & historian, producing a rich sequence of illuminating books.* SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates., Books<
