The book covers four thousand years of history, looking at both periods of glory and tragic persecutions.

The author combines historical facts with reflection on the phenomenon of Jewish identity, asking questions about the will to survive and the unquenchable message of their history.

Paul Johnson, a British historian and author of many esteemed books, undertook the task of describing the fate of the Jewish people as if from the heart and with a kindness that goes beyond the dry workshop of the historian. It was also not supposed to be an ordinary history of a specific population, but the search for answers to almost metaphysical questions: what is behind the will of the Jews to survive, what message do the thousands of years of their existence carry.

Johnson looks at their fate as a parable about man, his determination and struggles with oppression, from which the Jewish nation has emerged in the last century almost miraculously and despite terrible sacrifices. It is a book for anyone who wants to understand one of the most fascinating and complex nations in the world. The Jews believed that they were a special nation so unanimously and passionately for so long that they really became one.

The author crowns his work with a beautiful reference to the myth of the chosen people: The Jews believed that they were a special nation so unanimously and passionately for so long that they really became one. Indeed, they had a role to play because they wrote it themselves. It is a book for anyone who wants to understand one of the most fascinating and complex nations in the world.
