In the terror~swept ghetto of sixteenth~century Prague, Rabbi Judah Low creates from the Moldau mud a giant to be the savior of his people. "If you bring me to life, my rage shall devour the living, my strength shall lay waste the earth," pleads the reluctant clay. But the Rabbi, caught between the millstones of Imperial power and the peasant fanaticism that threatens to erupt into violence, must ignore the plea and the warning. And so the Golem ~ half scourge, half redeemer ~ is born. As his days unfold, the Golem wrestles with his new humanity. Rebellious against Rabbi Low, his creator, teacher, father, and jailer, yet tender with the girl he comes to love, he is also the brutish and vengeful instrument of the Lord against his people's enemies. He learns of suffering, longing, love, of the conflicting urges for violence and peace that rack the souls of all men. While the Golem guards the ghetto walls, Rabbi Low and the ghetto's leading banker, Mordecai Meisel, struggle to head off the inevitable catastrophe with money and maneuver, with reason and intelligence. But the young Jews, desperate, organize a legion to resist: Shall they defend themselves and permit their enemies to make them killers? Or must they bow to their enemies' swords and go to slaughter with their hands unstained by blood? In the face of the holocaust, the separate ordeals of Judah Low, Mordecai Meisel, and the Golem underscore dilemmas that beset all men at all times. The Sword of the Golem is a brutally modern book that uses history, legend, and myth for contemporary meanings; a timeless novel that could be set in Berlin or Warsaw on the eve of World War II, or in today's Kiev or New York on the brink of World War III, or ~ as it is ~ in Prague on the verge of the Thirty Years' War that devastated Europe. Despite the author's tragic view of human nature and the human condition, The Sword of the Golem is informed with optimism rooted in a passionate faith in man's intelligence and courage. The author ~ "My father and my uncle, and my early Hebrew teachers, taught me the legends of the Golem when I was a child," Abraham Rothberg says. "In 1963, as a reporter, I was in Prague and went to visit the Jewish museum there, the old cemetery, the Altneuschul, the grave of Rabbi Low, the entire area of the old ghetto, and slowly the book began to jostle the corners of my mind. No small part of that jostling was seeing the names, dates of birth, and dates of death of thousands and thousands of Jews killed by the Nazis inscribed on a 'wall of mourning' in that Prague ghetto. It was not a recollection one could easily put away. "The Sword of the Golem," he adds, "is about peace and violence, about when the sword is to be used, and when it is to be sheathed, if ever. It attempts to see if there is common ground out of which can be built what has often been talked of, but never acted upon, a genuine Judeo~Christian tradition.". Nº de ref. del artículo: 6281902
