Description
""The Manor is an epic of Polish Jewry and of the mystery of human hope . . . a great book."" -The Boston Globe |""What he has achieved [in The Estate] is a sense of impetuousness, the fury, the bursting energy in the hearts of these Jews. . . . Tragedy is followed by new sorrows; joy by new joys.""-Newsday |""The author's apparently inexhaustible psychological fantasy and insight have created a microcosm, or rather a well-populated micro-chaos, out of independent and graphically convincing figures."" -Professor Lars Gyllensten, Les Prix Nobel, 1978
