Just a few years earlier, Jews living in Portugal were dragged to the baptismal font and forced to convert to Christianity. Many of these New Christians persevered in their Jewish prayers and rituals in secret and at great risk; the hidden, arcane practices of the kabbalists, a mystical sect of Jews, continued as well. One such secret Jew was Berekiah Zarco, an intelligent young manuscript illuminator. Inflamed by love and revenge, he searches, in the crucible of the raging pogrom, for the killer of his beloved uncle Abraham, a renowned kabbalist and manuscript illuminator, discovered murdered in a hidden synagogue along with a young girl in dishabille. Risking his life in streets seething with mayhem, Berekiah tracks down answers among Christians, New Christians, Jews, and the fellow kabbalists of his uncle, whose secret language and codes by turns light and obscure the way to the truth he seeks. A marvelous story, a challenging mystery, and a telling tale of the evils of intolerance, The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon both compels and entertains.… (plus d'informations)

Em abril de 1506, durante as celebrações da Páscoa, cerca de dois mil cristãos-novos foram mortos num pogrom em Lisboa e os seus corpos queimados no Rossio. Reinava então D. Manuel, o Venturoso , e os frades incitavam o povo à matança, acusando os cristãos-novos de serem a causa da fome e da peste que flagelavam a cidade.Berequias, sobrinho e discípulo de Abraão Zarco - iluminador e membro respeitado da célebre escola cabalística de Lisboa -, vai encontrar o tio e uma jovem desconhecida mortos na cave que servia de templo secreto desde que a sinagoga fora encerrada pelos cristãos-velhos. Um valioso manuscrito iluminado também desapareceu do seu esconderijo. Estarão os dois incidentes relacionados? Terá sido um cristão ou um judeu, como os indícios fazem crer, a assassinar o tio? Quem será a rapariga morta?Publicado originalmente em Portugal, O Último Cabalista de Lisboa é um extraordinário romance histórico, que catapultou o seu autor para um sucesso internacional, tendo sido publicado em toda a Europa, nos Estados Unidos e Brasil, onde depressa se tornou um bestseller.

Gruesome. Hard to keep reading it at times, reading about atrocities done to the Jews. Hard to keep all the characters straight, especially since they didn't have English names. ( )

During 1507 Lisbon, Portugal, a kabbalist’s nephew sets out to solve his uncle’s murder & to learn the lessons his uncle tried to teach him even from the grave, all while old Christians were burning alive “new” Christians (Jews who were forced to convert). I loved how much of the mystery involved books (angels, as the main character describes them). A vast number of characters & the ending is told like a documentary: what happened to each character years later, when the main character was writing this story. The story is graphic (violence and sex) and brutal. But everything about it is in detail and the descriptions of illuminating books were lovely. I’d read more by this author. ( )

Ambientato a Lisbona nell'antico quartiere di Alfama durante gli avvenimenti sanguinosi e i pogrom del 1506 dopo che gli ebrei furono espulsi dalla penisola iberica dai rispettivi regnanti (cfr. Decreto dell'Alhambra), il romanzo narra – ad un primo livello interpretativo – le vicissitudini della famiglia Zarco: la storia è presentata dal giovane Berekiah Zarco, cabalista "nascosto" e miniaturista, che tornando a casa rinviene suo zio e mentore, Abraham Zarco, assassinato insieme ad una ragazza sconosciuta. I corpi, entrambi nudi, giacciono nell cantina di casa (usata come sinagoga segreta, a causa delle persecuzioni) e la porta è chiusa dall'interno. I due sono stati sgozzati seguendo un rituale ebraico, ed è scomparsa una miniatura in cui Abraham ha dato ai personaggi biblici il volto di amici e conoscenti. Non si sa chi sia la ragazza, né come abbia fatto l'assassino a fuggire. (fonte: Wikipedia)

"Zimler's portrait of the city (and the New Christians' uneasy place within it) enriches his many-layered narrative, in which a suitably complex cast of characters plays a dangerous game with fate."
ajouté par bookfitz | modifierNew York Times, Erik Burns (Jul 19, 1998)
 
"The novel exhibits a curious predilection for revoltingly detailed descriptions of torture and murder, but there’s no gainsaying its authoritative re-creation of an imperilled culture in a savage time and place, or the force of the prophecy that Berekiah finally infers from the mystery of the death his Uncle doubtless expected—and may have courted."
