À propos de cet audio

A true-life thriller about the journey of one of the world's most precious manuscripts - the 10th-century annotated Hebrew Bible known as the Aleppo Codex - from its hiding place in an ancient Syrian synagogue to the newly founded Israel. Using his research, including documents that have been secret for 50 years and interviews with key players, AP correspondent Friedman tells a story of political upheaval, international intrigue, charged courtroom battles, obsession, and subterfuge.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“A masterful account of a major religious document.... Friedman delivers an atmospheric, tense story.” ( Publishers Weekly)
“ The Aleppo Codex could be read as a thriller. It could also be read as a history of the Jewish people, or as a meditation on history and myth. This great book comes closer to containing everything than any book I’ve read in a long, long time.” (Jonathan Safran Foer)
Tout
Les plus pertinents
A true mystery: full of twists and turns, conspiracy, murder, greed, and lies. While there is a slow crescendo of action suspense early in the book...soon it becomes clear that much of the book’s early investigation/conclusions are false. Matti Friedman’s writing is absolutely incredible; he is a true master storyteller and this real life murder/mystery/conspiracy will shock you and keep you unsuccessfully guessing until the end.

Agatha Christie (real life!)
