Jacobs by Benoit Pierre (13 results)

Hardcover. Condition: Poor. First American Edition. (no dust jacket) [a reading/reference copy only, heavily worn, front hinge cracked, boards exposed at bottom corners, missing ffep, need I go on?]. Novel about "a Jewess born in the slums of a Levantine seaport [who] becomes a courtesan, selling her favors in the shabby cabarets of Eastern ports." The book was filmed under the title A DAUGHTER OF ISRAEL in 1928, a late silent starring Betty Blythe, of which the New York Times opined that "the most interesting point about it is that it was filmed in the countries of its backgrounds, which include Turkey, Egypt, Palestine and France." Regardless of that, it seems to have been a pretty dull affair: "It was made some three or four years ago, but it looks even older." (And in 1928, that was pretty damning criticism.) About the only thing to recommend this badly-treated copy of a relatively scarce book is that the front panel of the dust jacket has been affixed to the front pastedown (inside front cover).

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. "Jacobs Well" is a compelling dramatic novel by Pierre Benoit that explores the intersection of personal identity and political conviction during the early 20th century. The story follows Hagar Darsanty, a glamorous and talented Jewish dancer in France, whose life takes a dramatic turn when she is inspired to leave the stages of Europe for the pioneering spirit of Palestine. Settling at a colony near Nablus, Hagar transitions from a life of vanity and art to one of sacrifice and communal labor.Benoit masterfully portrays the challenges faced by the early Zionist settlers, depicting the harsh beauty of the landscape and the ideological fervor that fueled the movement. As Hagar navigates her new environment, she grapples with her past and the demanding expectations of her heritage. "Jacobs Well" stands as a significant work of fiction that captures a pivotal moment in history, blending romance and social commentary with the evocative storytelling that made Benoit a prominent literary figure of his era.
