Golem: A Caldecott Award Winner Paperback - 2007
by David Wisniewski
Some four hundred years ago, according to legend, Rabbi Loew shaped a giant man of clay--a golem--and brought him to life. The golems job was to defend the Jews of Prague from their persecutors, and he performed it almost too well. Wisniewskis Caldecott Honor-winning book is now in paperback. Full color.
Summary
Retold from traditional sources and accompanied by David Wisniewski's unique cut-paper illustrations, Golem is a dramatic tale of supernatural forces invoked to save an oppressed people. It also offers a thought-provoking look at the consequences of unleashing power beyond human control. The afterword discusses the legend of the golem and its roots in the history of the Jews. A Caldecott Medal Book.
First line
Within the beautiful city of Prague, fierce hatreds have raged for a thousand years.
