      Trilogie bestaat uit: De Arkenbouwer; De Oorlogsdokter; De Troop-leraar - druk 1

      • 285 pages

      Deze nieuwe bundel van de Amerikaanse succesauteur Chaim Potok bestaat uit drie novellen: De arkenbouwer, De oorlogsdokter en De troop-leraar. Rode draad en hoofdpersson is Davits Chandal, die eerder voorkwam als klein meisje in Davita's harp. De novelle DE ARKENBOUWER is gloednieuw en verhaalt de belevenissen van Davita die Engelse les moet geven aan een ongewone leerling. Noah Stremin is een Poolse jongen die het vernietigingskamp in de Tweede Wereldoorlog heeft overleefd, maar er wel een trauma aan over heeft gehouden. Dankzij haar zusje Rachel, met wie Noah tekeningen uitwisselt, weet Davita Noah aan de praat te krijgen. Hij vertelt Davita dat hij in het verleden in Kralov hulpje is geweest van de inspirerende Reb Binyomin, de bouwer van arken. DE OORLOGSDOKTER is een nieuwe versie van de novelle 'De hand van de golem'. De oude Leo Shartov schrijft op verzoek van Davita zijn opmerkelijke levensverhaal op. Hij vertelt over de dokter die in de Eerste Wereldoorlog hem genas en hem blijvend beïnvloedde, en hoe hij ondanks zijn joodse achtergrond carrière maakte als beul bij de KGB van Stalin. Ook DE TROOP-LERAAR verscheen eerder in Nederland, maar in 'Oude mannen om middernacht' is het verhaal sterk bewerkt. Professor Benjamin Walter overziet zijn leven, hiertoe aangezet door zijn nieuwe buurvrouw, de gevierde Davita Chandal. Hij vertelt haar over zijn leven en hoe hij als jonge jongen, eerst onder dwang van zijn vader en later uit eigen vrije wil, door zijn troop-leraar, de intrigerende Isaac Zapinski, leert hoe hij de tora, 'zangerig' heeft leren voordragen.

      The summer holidays are dragging on and Harry Potter can't wait for the start of the school year. It is his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and there are spells to be learnt and (unluckily) Potions and Divination lessons to be attended. But Harry can't know that the atmosphere is darkening around him, and his worst enemy is preparing a fate that it seems will be inescapable . . . With characteristic wit, fast-paced humour and marvellous emotional depth, J.K. Rowling has proved herself yet again to be a master story-teller.
