Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. A fine copy, in a fine unclipped dust jacket, of the stated first trade edition.

It is now protected in a removable mylar cover. From the blurb: "In his latest novel, 'The Gift of Asher Lev,' Potok sheds light on the shuttered world of the Hasidim--those bearded and hatted figures seen striding down the streets of New York and certain European cities. The Hasidim are historical fossils of a sort, flash-frozen remnants of a wave of 18th-Century Eastern European reaction to Enlightenment Orthodoxy and rationalism, who substituted a riddling, sensual reading of Scripture for the more formal "scientific" interpretation of their co-religionists. Defiant in their fundamentalism, they come down to the Modern Age best understood as ecstasy-specialists of a sort, the whirling dervishes of Judaism". LA Times Review.

Former owner name neatly written at the upper left corner of the blank first free front endpaper; all other pages are in fine unmarked condition. (see photographs). First Trade Edition. "The acclaim and popular success that have greeted Chaim Potok's novels have placed him among the most loved and admired writers of our day. From the moment of his spectacular debut with The Chosen, he has been recognized as a uniquely moving chronicler of family life and of the American Jewish experience, and inspired portrayer of spirutal struggle. All his power to stir our deepest emotions is present in this, his first novel in five years, ans he brings back the artist hero of My Name Is Asher Lev, which The New York Times Book Review called "a novel that is little short of a work of genius." Asher Lev is the devout Ladover Hasid who, against powerful odds, has become a painter of international renown. He has learned to live with the dichotomy between his beliefs and his work by making his home for twenty years in France, far from the insular Brooklyn community where he was raised, and where he is still considered "inexplicably aberrant." But when a beloved uncle dies, he must, along with his wife and two children, make the journey back. Lev fells "something odd happening in Brooklyn. a vague sense of myself being reeled in," and almost immediately he comes face to face with the disdain and animosity his work arouses among the Ladover, and the difficulties it causes his family. Painfully, against his will, he is plunged back into the conflict - between the culture he was born into and the culture he has forged for himself - that compelled his exile two decades before. And although he is determined to remain in America only for the prescribed week of mourning, a series of startling events threatens to prolong his stay indefinitely and force him, once again, to choose between the sacred and the worldly. As the novels unfolds, moving toward its dramatic, deeply affecting conclusion, we watch as Asher Lev comes to grasp the true nature of the decision he must make: a decision that will affect not only his own life but also the entire Ladover community, the sanctity of his family, and most importantly - most profoundly - the fate of his own young son. Deeply felt, beautifully realized, The Gift of Asher Lev is the work of a master storyteller. It is a generous, extraordinarily insightful evocation of the life of the spirit in both its religious and its artistic impulses, the moving tale of one man who must negotiate a difficult, demanding, and, ultimately, exalting balance between the two." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
