Esther
Author: J.T. Waldman
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
The Book of Esther reinvented as a graphic novel with the Hebrew text, an original English translation with Rabbinic interpretations woven throughout the panels. Megillat Esther is commonly referred to as the Book of Esther'but there is nothing common about Waldman's interpretation of this biblical story. In what may be the world's first religious, scholarly comic book, Waldman tells the epic tale of exile and redemption in graphic form. Each page of Megillat Esther is a visual tour de force and features the Hebrew text with original English translation, as well as opulent drawings depicting the story of the Persian queen. When Esther, a Jewish woman, is made queen of Persia, she finds that she must keep her identity hidden while maneuvering to save her people from annihilation. This familiar story is recounted every year on the holiday of Purim, but readers will be entranced the year round by what Waldman depicts in his unique visual interpretation of the text and allusions to some more esoteric midrash. At once traditional and groundbreaking, Megillat Esther will challenge contemporary assumptions about this biblical tale. Waldman's drawings build on centuries of classic commentary, and all the Rabbinic sources found in Megillat Esther are cited in the appendix. Megillat Esther presents the reader with a topsy-turvy world in which fortunes reverse and nothing is what it seems. This vibrant, edgy retelling of a classic biblical tale is sure to amaze and intrigue scholars, comic book lovers, and everyone in between.

A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK A BELLETRIST BOOK CLUB PICK For fans of The Hours and Fates and Furies, a bold, kaleidoscopic novel intertwining the lives of three women across three centuries as their stories of sex, power, and desire finally converge in the present day. Lily is a mother and a daughter. And a second wife. And a writer, maybe? Or she was going to be, before she had children. Now, in her rented Brooklyn apartment she’s grappling with her sexual and intellectual desires, while also trying to manage her roles as a mother and a wife in 2016. Vivian Barr seems to be the perfect political wife, dedicated to helping her charismatic and ambitious husband find success in Watergate-era Washington D.C. But one night he demands a humiliating favor, and her refusal to obey changes the course of her life—along with the lives of others. Esther is a fiercely independent young woman in ancient Persia, where she and her uncle’s tribe live a tenuous existence outside the palace walls. When an innocent mistake results in devastating consequences for her people, she is offered up as a sacrifice to please the King, in the hopes that she will save them all. In Anna Solomon's The Book of V., these three characters' riveting stories overlap and ultimately collide, illuminating how women’s lives have and have not changed over thousands of years.
