"Fascinating . . . a wonderful rampage through history."-The New York Times "James Michener is something rare and valuable: an honorable craftsman doing honorable work. . . .

Synopsis
In his signature style of grand storytelling, James Michener sweeps us back through time to the Holy Land, thousands of years ago. By exploring the lives and discoveries of modern archaeologists excavating the site of Tell Makor, Michener vividly re-creates life in and around an ancient city during critical periods of its existence, and traces the profound history of the Jews, including that of the early Hebrews and their persecution, the impact of Christianity on the Jewish world, the Crusades, and the Spanish Inquisition. Michener weaves his epic tale of love, strength, and faith until at last he arrives at the founding of Israel and the modern conflict in the Middle East. The Source is not only a compelling history of the Holy Land and its people but a richly written saga that encompasses the development of Western civilization and the great religious and cultural ideas that have shaped our world. From the Trade Paperback edition.

    Loved this book twice through from beginning to end.

    I first read the book fifty odd years ago. It left a lasting impact on me to the point where over the years I promised myself to read it again. Since I recently retired I decided to read it once again hoping that it would have the same effect. It did and more so. Michener can weave together a story like no other. He has a rare quality of taking a subject that you may hesitate to read and have you walk away with a whole new appreciation for it. I cannot recommend this book enough!

    One of the greatest works of historical fiction ever written

    This book is nuanced and profound in too many ways to list. The story covers thousands of years of history, and yet characters who appear for only a chapter are sympathetic and memorable. It speaks to both our fleeting and poignant individual existence and to our place in the grand arc of history, from the modern day to the very... Source.

    "The Source " by James A. Michener

    the book cover jacket was somewhat torn, but I taped the entire cover with wide clear shipping tape, so it i fine now. the pages were perfect,clean condition. It looked like it had not been read. I read this book many years ago. I loved it and am looking forward to reading it again.
