Holocaust survivor Mendel Traig meets the Binyans, Jewish Indians living in the California desert who claim to be descended from King Solomon’s sailors. Is the fantastic tale of the family’s ancient journey from the disintegrating Mayan culture of the Yucatan to this northern “promised land” true or a myth?
The Cold War is raging. Mendel falls for Sarah Cavanaugh, the engineer responsible for a controversial tower under construction on a sacred site. If completed, the tower will communicate globally with the American nuclear submarine fleet.
The Binyan patriarch and his brilliant son are in a generational conflict over the tower and the son’s future. Spiced with magical realism and mysticism, The Seed Apple (a follow-up to Greene's Lost and Found) is a mysterious, funny, moving novel by a critically acclaimed author.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In The Seed Apple, Mendel travels to the California desert and engages with a family of Jewish Native Americans who trace their origins to pre-Hispanic Yucatan. Focusing on the Binyans, a family of builders, was a natural extension of the concept of Solomon's sailors having a cross-cultural impact on the Mayans. It's also a retelling of the Exodus story. The Cold War setting supported the construction of the latest tower on their Sacred Mountain, which is designed to communicate globally with America's nuclear submarine fleet. This provided an opportunity to express the inter-generational tensions that were an intrinsic element of that period. An additional theme is the emergence of strong women who break out of their traditional roles. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9798999495303
