Last Kabbalist of Lisbon

An English translation of the best-selling Portuguese historical thriller that follows the wandering of Berekiah Zarco, a manuscript illuminator, through both the pages of the Kabbala and the bloody streets of Lisbon during the Great Pogrom of April 1506. In his struggle to find the man who murdered his Uncle Abraham--a famous scholar who devoted his life to interpreting the secrets of the Kabbala-- Zarco tracks down answers among the Christians, converts, and Jews of Lisbon, and finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into a world that is less familiar with each step.
