Dear Friend:
I want to thank you for your interest in Nextbook Press's Jewish Encounters series, and to share with you a free excerpt from
Sacred Trash: The Lost and Found World of the Cairo Geniza, our newest release, which the
Wall Street Journal calls "a wonderfully passionate and lively account of a civilization we could not have imagined existed."
In
Sacred Trash, MacArthur-winning poet and translator Peter Cole and acclaimed essayist and biographer Adina Hoffman tell the story of the retrieval of the most vital cache of Jewish manuscripts ever discovered. The contents of the Cairo Geniza -- from love letters and poems to wills, marriage contracts, and mysterious magical charms -- spanned centuries and have rightly been dubbed "the Living Sea Scrolls."
Sacred Trash is, above all, a gripping tale of adventure and redemption that the New York Times calls a "lively and elevating" story of a world "wonderfully revived."
The introduction to
Sacred Trash is attached to this email. I hope you enjoy it. You can read more about the book, watch a video with the authors, or order a copy of Sacred Trash by clicking the link below.
Thank you.
