Yehoshua, set in the year 999 and heading toward the end of the millennium. This is a story of a Jewish merchant who has taken on two wives. His partner's wife does not approve of bigamy and wants the partnership to end. Ben Attar makes this long voyage to convince this woman that having two wives is a good thing and blessed by God. The trip is fraught with many difficulties. I think the whole plot line sounded really interesting but it is told in such a way that it is a chore to read. Way too much sexual content. Come mai il ricco mercante ebreo Ben-Atar decide di lasciare la sua amata Tangeri alle soglie dell’anno mille? Egli intraprende un lungo e faticoso viaggio alla volta della oscura e nebbiosa Francia per dimostrare qualcosa alla moglie dell’amato nipote, una askhenazita che ostenta disapprovazione. Ma cosa disapprova? La bigamia di Ben Atar. Ed è allora che egli intraprende il viaggio per dimostrare, di fronte ad un tribunale e alla stessa accusatrice, che amare due donne è possibile. Un duplice processo giudicherà Ben-Atar, accompagnato dalle due mogli, per stabilire se amare più donne è possibile oppure no secondo le leggi della Torah. It might be the translation, but it was a constant fight to remember where you are and with whom. The language itself felt very stiff and uncomfortable. Why did I continue reading it when there were so many times I wanted to pick up something that flowed? The description of a culture and its time always draws me in. I did finish it, but I must admit I was so relieved to do so. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

In the year 999, when Ben Attar, a Moroccan Jewish merchant, takes a second wife, he commits an act whose unforeseen consequences will forever alter his family, his relationships, his business-his life. In an attempt to forestall conflict and advance his business interests at the same time, Ben Attar undertakes his annual journey to Europe with both his first wife and his new wife. The trip is the beginning of a profound human drama whose moral conflicts of fidelity and desire resonate with those of our time. Yehoshua renders the medieval world of Jewish and Christian culture and trade with astonishing depth and sensuous detail. Through the trials of a medieval merchant, the renowned author explores the deepest questions about the nature of morality, character, codes of human conduct, and matters of the heart.

Il suo fascino avvolgente sta anche nel procedere con estrema lentezza: chi non è disposto a lasciargli i suoi tempi forse è meglio che ne stia alla larga. ( )
