More About This Title The Last Jew
- English
English
When all unconverted Jews are expelled from Spain during the Inquisition, 15-year-old Yonah Toledano is left behind. He begins a meandering journey, part desperate flight, part voyage of discovery. The story of his growth into manhood--as a physician with the outer persona of an Old Christian and a soul that clings to his Jewish roots--has made The Last Jew an international bestseller.

“Consistently superb... The new novel showcases Gordon’s strength as a writer of provocative historical fiction.” --The San Francisco Chronicle “The Last Jew is an excellent, abundant tapestry of a historical novel that will keep readers on the edges of their seats.” --The Providence Journal “[Noah Gordon] illuminates the choices history forces on individuals-and, not incidentally, creates a grand, informative adventure and a completely engaging, unsentimental portrait of a turbulent time.” --Publishers Weekly “Gordon is a natural storyteller, and, given the novel’s fascinating setting and a morethanlikeable hero, this superior historical novel should have a place in all libraries.” --Library Journal by Noah Gordon
