The Chosen
Autor Chaim Potoken Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 ian 2022
"Works of this caliber should be occasion for singing in the streets and shouting from the rooftops." ?Chicago Tribune
It's the spring of 1944 and fifteen-year-olds Reuven Malter and Danny Saunders have lived five blocks apart all their lives. But they've never met, not until the day an accident at a softball game sparks an unlikely friendship. Soon these two boys?one expected to become a Hasidic rebbe, the other at ease with secular America?are drawn into one another's worlds despite a father's strong opposition.
Set against the backdrop of World War II and the creation of the state of Israel, The Chosen is a poignant novel about transformation and tradition, growing up and growing wise, and finding yourself?even if it might mean disappointing those you love.
