Emma Lazarus


Book Description

Winner of the National Jewish Book Award Emma Lazarus’s most famous poem gave a voice to the Statue of Liberty, but her remarkable story has remained a mystery until now. Drawing upon a cache of personal letters undiscovered until the 1980s, Esther Schor brings this vital woman to life in all her complexity—as a feminist, a Zionist, and a trailblazing Jewish-American writer. Schor argues persuasively for Lazarus’s place in history as an activist and a prophet of the world we all inhabit today. As a stunning rebuke to fear, xenophobia, and isolationism, Lazarus's life and work are more relevant now than ever before.

The Lazarus Rumba


Book Description

A modern tale rooted in recent historical events but filtered through a patiently unfolding storytelling style that pays homage to The Arabian Nights, The Lazarus Rumba is a stunning literary debut, a virtuoso performance like no other Latino writer has ever produced. This extraordinary ambitious novel sets out to portray the spiritual landscape of the Cuban people in the wake of Castro's revolutionary upheaval. Like Cervantes' Don Quixote, The Lazarus Rumba describes a country best by social dislocation and personal confusion, a country whose soul is best captured by a lush magic realism woven from innumerable tales, tales told contrapuntally in voices both melancholy and lively, lyrical and coarse, delicate and grotesque. As intensely political as Manuel Puig's Kiss Of The Spider Woman or Milan Kundera's The Book Of Laughter And Forgetting, The Lazarus Rumba centers around three generations of women in the Lucientes family and follows the story of Alicia Lucientes as she almost inadvertantly becomes the most famous dissident on the Island.

Jesus, in His Footsteps


Book Description

This is the story of the life of Jesus with photographs showing the actual places where significant Biblical events took place. From the rustic birthplace at Bethlehem, to the Jordan River and the Temple of Capernaum, we see the places where Christ lived and taught. We witness the places where he performed miracles at the fountains of Bethesda in ancient Jerusalem, the Sea of Galilee where he calmed the storm, and the place in Bethany where he raised Lazarus from the dead. We climb the steps and enter the Cenacle, the actual Room of the Last Supper. We spend a few moments in the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus knelt and prayed in his final hours, and sweat blood. The stone he leaned against is still there. We see the place where he climbed the stairs to be judged by Pilate, and the narrow street of Old Jerusalem, the Via Dolorosa, where he carried the cross. We see the place of the crucifixion and the inside of the rock tomb in which his body lay. It was from this place he rose from the dead. Considered the greatest Teacher in the history of the world, He was above all, the face and soul of love.




I Am Lazarus


Book Description

We sometimes wonder what God’s plan is for our short time on Earth. In this story, three people resurrected by the Son of God—Lazarus of Bethany, the daughter of Jarius, and the son of the widow from Nain—are stunned when the apostle Paul reveals that they are now immortal. Together they travel across the centuries, collecting and preserving the words of Jesus Christ. But it soon becomes clear that they must also become warriors for Christ as they elude a persistent group of zealots who are determined to permanently return them to the grave.
