Rendition In Pursuance Of Books The Source

In the grand storytelling style that is his signature, James Michener sweeps us back through time to the very beginnings of the Jewish faith, thousands of years ago. Through the predecessors of four modern men and women, we experience the entire colorful history of the Jews, including the life of the early Hebrews and their persecutions, the impact of Christianity, the Crusades, and the Spanish Inquisition, all the way to the founding of present-day Israel and the Middle-East conflict.
"A sweeping chronology filled with excitement."

Criticism Of Books The Source

Another epic novel by my favorite author. This book was a beast to get through and I've been reading it off and on for months now. It was utterly fascinating. The book is about the land we now call Israel. It starts with primitive peoples and their creation of "religions". There were many difficult things to read about such as killing of 1st born sons to the God Baal. (I think) -symbolic of things to come? The Jews were of course the central characters in this story and the evolution of their

The Source is another of James Michener's epic fictional histories. This one explores a part of northern Israel from the times of the pagans, through Jewish independence, Christian ascendance, Muslim conquest, resurgence of Judaism nationality, to the establishment of Israel.Note: some of the story does take place in Italy in the middle-ages as Michener relates the plight of Jews there and their decision to migrate to the Land of Israel.The story is told through an excavation of a site in

You're probably wondering, why read the whole darn thing (1070 pages) when you rate it a meagre 2 stars in the end? Well, that's the secret of huge books. If you want your readers to finish your badly written book just make it huge, because first they will continue reading with the hopes of your book just having a awkward start, and by the time they reach 1/4 of the book and have realized the book is just shitty, they will continue reading anyway because they already 'came this far' and put

Maybe I picked the wrong Michener book to start with. It did not work for me on several levels.First, his characters were almost one-dimensional, they were so flat. The reader is expected to fill in the gaps in all the relationships: feelings of animosity or chemistry and attraction between characters really isn't depicted. You just have to assume that it is there.Second, ok, I know I only got into it like 100 pages, but everything I saw was told instead of shown. Bo-ring. I learned that one in

Long and languid, the two weeks I spent on reading this saga has torpedoed my 2015 Reading Goal. A very good and absorbing story - typical Michener - although a couple of sections and the end were very slow going and not captivating, which is why it clocks at at four and not five star read.

I did it!! I have had this book on my "to read" list for a long time. The subject matter, the history of Judaism, has always been of great interest to me. The problem is the sheer length of this book. It is a monster and so I always found starting it to be a daunting task. As my early Christmas present to myself, I decided to go for it. It sure did not disappoint! I am awed by the scope of this book. Michener tells the tale of Judaism starting in 9834 BCE and continues to 1964 CE. He does this

This was a book that helped me have a more complete view of world history and all the tensions surrounding the middle east. I read in in high school during the first gulf war. My high school was pretty substandard, it was a small town, and the students didn't care or try very hard. The school was struggling just to teach the basics. I wanted more than that and I read a lot of stuff. My mom had a subscription to Newsweek and I read it nearly cover to cover every week since I was 12. Despite all
