About this title

Synopsis

Mendel Singer est un homme simple. Il est pauvre et pieux. Son respect absolu de la loi divine lui fait accueillir d'un coeur �gal les bienfaits et les �preuves.
S'il quitte, avec les siens, sa bourgade juive de Russie, c'est parce qu'il craint pour eux les tentations d'une soci�t� en contradiction avec sa r�gle de vie.
L'Am�rique appara�t comme une terre promise. Mais le Nouveau Monde est encore de ce monde et les pires malheurs s'abattent sur Singer et sa famille.
Demeur� seul, Mendel Singer affronte, tel un Job moderne, une civilisation qui le laisse d�muni dans l'abondance, qui lui rend intol�rable sa d�r�liction.
C'est au moment o� il ploie sous le poids de la gr�ce que Dieu lui ouvre la porte du bonheur.
R�cit r�aliste, aventure l�gendaire, Le Poids de la gr�ce est le point d'orgue de l'oeuvre de Joseph Roth. Apr�s le diptyque consacr� � l'effondrement de l'Autriche (La Marche de Radetzky et La Crypte des capucins), Roth explore ici les perspectives et les impasses d'un monde qui a perdu son centre de gravit�, d'un monde qui se transforme en tourbillon plan�taire.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
