Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 1825, a New York politician and amateur playwright possessed of a utopian vision, summoned all the lost tribes of Israel to an island near Buffalo in the hope of establishing a Jewish state. His failed plan is the starting point for this brilliantly imagined epic.A disgraced kosher slaughterer, an importer of religious articles and women's hosiery, a pilgrim peddling soil from the Holy Land, a latter-day Kabbalist, a man with plans to carbonate Lake Eriethese are just some of the characters who move through Katchor's universe, their lives interwoven in a common struggle to settle into the New World even as it erupts into a financial frenzy that could as easily leave them bankrupt as carry them into the future. In 1825 a New York politician and amateur playwright attempted to establish a Jewish state on an island in upstate New York. His failed plan, a mere footnote in Jewish-American history, is the foundation of this mesmerizing graphic novel that unfolds on the frenetic streets of New York in the 1830s. Illustrations.
