Originally published in 1960, and the first of three volumes on the history of the Jews during the dispersal, this book covers briefly the period from the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in the year 70 down to Hadrian's suppression of Simeon's insurrection in 135. It sketches the political and religious background to the conflict between the Jewish and Graeco-Roman cultures, and the final separation of the Christian religion from its original Judaic stock; it vividly describes the general historical events involving the homeland of the Jews and portrays the principal characters in the struggle between them and the Empire, especially the insurrectionist leader Simeon Bar-Cochbar, the Son of a Star himself.

Industry Reviews

Original reviews of The Son of a Star:

'This well-produced eminently readable translation of a Danish best-seller is well worth reading...informative and entertaining.' Time and Tide

'The author has a fine narrative gift and is well served by his translator. The style is lively and reads more like a novel than the serious historical work which it is.' Jewish Chronicle

'Guides the reader wisely through a fascinating period of history and helps him to see all the different elements in their relation to one another.' The Observer
