More About This Title The Last Jew

English

When all unconverted Jews are expelled from Spain during the Inquisition, 15-year-old Yonah Toledano is left behind. He begins a meandering journey, part desperate flight, part voyage of discovery. The story of his growth into manhood--as a physician with the outer persona of an Old Christian and a soul that clings to his Jewish roots--has made The Last Jew an international bestseller.

English

Noah Gordon has had outstanding international success and his eight novels have been read by millions in thirty-five countries. The Physician, now a major motion picture, has been called a modern classic, and booksellers at the Madrid Book Fair voted it “one of the 10 best-loved books of all time.” Shaman was awarded the James Fenimore Cooper Prize for historical fiction. He lives outside of Boston with his wife, Lorraine Gordon.

“Consistently superb... The new novel showcases Gordon’s strength as a writer of provocative historical fiction.” --The San Francisco Chronicle “The Last Jew is an excellent, abundant tapestry of a historical novel that will keep readers on the edges of their seats.” --The Providence Journal “[Noah Gordon] illuminates the choices history forces on individuals-and, not incidentally, creates a grand, informative adventure and a completely engaging, unsentimental portrait of a turbulent time.” --Publishers Weekly “Gordon is a natural storyteller, and, given the novel’s fascinating setting and a morethanlikeable hero, this superior historical novel should have a place in all libraries.” --Library Journal by Noah Gordon
