Soon, finished with a novel and story collection, I sent...

She was tall, dark and one hell of a handsome, sexy woman, still roaring to go even in her late forties. She bounced through the bar wearing her tight pink sweater, tight black leather pants and high-heeled, high-rising black boots. Her nails were long like a cat and red. Her eyes burned with desire.

The Status of Women in Jewish Tradition
ISBN: 9781107618039 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Most ancient societies were patriarchal in outlook, but not all patriarchies are equally condescending toward women.

Of course, there are multiple voices in both Biblical and Talmudic literature, but more surprising is how divergent these voices are. Some points of view seem intent on the disenfranchisement and domestication...

How did that persona, his role identity develop? What is the mechanism involved that shapes each of us? The novel seeks to understand by through Artie Shamash's life.
