However, as Herr Hitler's power grows, everything around her begins to transform into a very atypical reality, full of enigmas and, of course, dangers. Dreamy and curious, it's no surprise that Sophie is so enchanted when she meets a group of eccentric people, such as a Jewish man studying Kabbalah, a couple of dwarves, a circus troupe, and other characters relentlessly persecuted for not fitting into the Nazis' ideal of pure race. It comes as a shock to Sophie to realize that a collective schizophrenia is ravaging the entire German people, including her closest loved ones: her beloved is increasingly enchanted by the Führer's words, her father suddenly decides to switch sides and join Hitler's party, and her quiet brother, who never harmed anyone, is at great risk simply because he's autistic in the midst of the Nazi regime. With everything so out of whack, Sophie clings to the stimulating idea of deciphering the secrets of Kabbalah alongside her wise Jewish friend, Isaac Zarco, hoping to find some way out of so much suffering. Mr. Zarco is a descendant of Berekiah Zarco, the narrator of the bestselling book The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon, and Isaac is searching for the manuscripts he inherited from Berekiah, believing they hold a key to helping him fight Hitler. And when Sophie comes across these 16th-century manuscripts, it seems like doors of light open in the midst of chaos... Although the pain caused by Nazism is recurrently addressed in literary works around the world, this novel stands out by not only focusing on the persecution of Jews, but also following the issues faced by minorities that are much less portrayed despite having been equally the target of harsh persecution.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159417274620,"sku":"9788501097644","price":89.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/846eebb29e1351c6d775b24d6d13988f.jpg?v=1778322405"},{"product_id":"o-ultimo-cabalista-de-lisboa-edicao-de-bolso","title":"The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon (Pocket Edition)","description":"Award-winning historical novel that blends suspense and mystery.

For the most basic feelings. Living in Portugal since 1990, American Richard Zimler attributes much of his thinking and the nuances of his plots, much of it with a strong Israeli influence, to his contact with Portuguese syntax. A Jew of Polish descent, Zimler has dedicated himself to revisiting the history of his people—and also the Holocaust—in works of great poetic power. After successes like *The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon*, which deals with the forced conversion of Jews to Christianity during the reign of King Manuel I, he returns with a noir set in the heart of Warsaw's Jewish ghetto. *The Anagrams of Warsaw* is a chilling and superbly written detective novel, narrated by a man who should be dead. And who is capable of lying about his own identity. Early 1940s. The Nazis imprison thousands of Jews in a small area of the Polish capital. An urban island isolated from the outside world. Erik Cohen, an elderly psychiatrist, is forced to move to the ghetto with his niece and nine-year-old great-nephew, Adam. But one bitterly cold morning, the boy disappears. And reappears dead. His body is found on the barbed wire, with one leg severed and a small piece of string left in his mouth. Soon another corpse appears—this time that of a young girl, whose hand has been severed. And the evidence begins to point to a Jewish traitor luring children to their deaths. Heartbroken, Erik joins his childhood friend, Izzy, to try to uncover the killer. An investigation that clashes with their own lack of freedom and the neglect of the German authorities. Another aspect of Zimler's masterful work: ghetto life, with all its difficulties. The attempts to maintain normalcy in the face of work, culture, family life, and religious practice. The Anagrams of Warsaw is a deeply moving and dark historical thriller. A journey to the most forbidden corners of Warsaw and the most heroic corners of the human heart.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176727560444,"sku":"9788501091826","price":39.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/df0c28726abd4a83b99abca97c4c25c6_2977520f-b3af-48be-9e7d-f55ccdae2c87.jpg?v=1778320084"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/richard-zimler.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
