Belongs to SeriesTestament of Man (7)
A MIGHTY NOVEL OF PERSECUTION AND MASSACRE AND A LOVE THAT DEFIED DEATH! THEY MET IN JERUSALEMA young Greek doctor, devoted to the pleasures of the senses and the intellect, and a passionate, pious daughter of Israel. Hopelessly in love, their beliefs were irreconcilable-until the Syrian-hordes struck at Jerusalem, defiling and slaughtering. Then the woman who loved God and the man who loved liberty united with the embattled Jews under the banner of Judas the Maccabee, to strike back at the enemy who would destroy them both! Vardis Fisher is one of the most remarkable of American authors. Viewing himself, in effect, as the reincarnation of conflicting personalities of many generations, the recipient of the transmitted subconscious memories of centuries, Fisher went back in his Testament of Man' to the ape-man progenitor and came up the long, uncertain booby-trapped path.
