The complete collection of the Jewish tales of this master-of -science fiction, including two never-before published stories. Provides an extensive biography of the author, who died in 1993, and symposium of the leading science fiction authors who discuss the author's genius and talent.
This is the first time such science fiction/fantasy classics as The Golem and Nephillim have appeared together as part of a total anthology of the author's Jewish stories. Each story presents a message which can be appreciated by both Jew and non-Jew, because it reveals the mystical, kabbalistic and other-worldly side to Jewish lore. Science fiction legends like Peter Beagle, Carl Carr, and Jack Dann reveal their own stories of this brilliant writer.
About the Author
Avram Davidson (1923-1993) served in U.S. army in World War II and in the Israeli Army during Israel's War of Independence. These two experiences played heavily on his earlier works in Jewish Life and Commentary.
