Recenzje

"This short and powerful book by Di Cesare not only tells the history and legacy of the Marranos - the crypto-Jews of Spain and Portugal - but, far more importantly, traces the disquieting, undisclosed implications of a phenomenon that few have yet to grasp: the rise of modern identity defined as a twinned concept where there is no false self but no true self either."André Aciman, author of Out of Egypt and Call Me By Your Name"An engrossing and enlightening account of the prelude, enactment, and consequences of the Spanish Inquisition focusing on Jewish victims."Jewish Tribune
