Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Belanger, Francesca (book design); Miceli, Jaya (jacket art and design) (illustrator). 1st Edition. Fine condition blue boards with gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Geraldine Brooks; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote by Heinrich Heine ("There, where one burns books, one in the end burns men"); and Afterword. Also includes color illustrated front and rear endpapers. "From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of March comes an intricate, ambitious novel of richly imagined history and intimate emotional intensity. People of the Book sweeps its readers on an intellectual adventure, from convivencia Spain to the ruins of Sarajevo, from the Silver Age of Venice to the sunburned rock faces of northern Australia. In 1996, a rare book expert is offered the job of a lifetime: analysis and conservation of a mysterious, beautifully illuminated Hebrew manuscript created in fifteenth-century Spain and recently saved from destruction during the shelling of Sarajevo's libraries. When Hanna Heath, a caustic Aussie loner with a passion for her work, discovers a series of tiny artifacts in the book's ancient binding - an insect-wing fragment, wine stains, salt crystals, and white hair - she begins to unlock the mysteries of the book's eventful past and to uncover the dramatic stories of those who created it and those who risked everything to protect it. In Bosnia during World War II, a Muslim risks his life to protect it from the Nazis. In the hedonistic salons of fin-de-siecle Vienna, the book becomes a pawn in the struggle against the city's rising anti-Semitism. In Venice in 1609, a Catholic priest saves the book from the Inquisition's fires. In Tarragona in 1492, the scribe who wrote the text sees his family destroyed by the agonies of forced exile. And in Seville in 1480, the reason for the manuscript's extraordinary illuminations is finally disclosed. Hanna's investigations unexpectedly plunge her into the intrigues of fine art forgers and ultra-nationalist fanatics. Her experiences will test her belief in herself and in the man she has come to love.People of the Book is filled with unforgettable voices from the past, but it is Hanna's voice - edgy, contemporary - that makes People of the Book a compulsively readable adventure story that transcends the usual boundaries of historical fiction. Inspired by a true story and captivating from its first page, People of the Book bears all the hallmarks of the storytelling gifts that have won Geraldine Brooks international acclaim and a Pulitzer Prize." - excerpt from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Hardcover. First edition. This copy is signed by the author on the title page. In 1996, Hanna Heath, an Australian rare-book expert, is offered the job of a lifetime: analysis and conservation of the famed Sarajevo Haggadah, which has been rescued from Serb shelling during the Bosnian war. Priceless and beautiful, the book is one of the earliest Jewish volumes ever to be illuminated with images. When Hanna, a caustic loner with a passion for her work, discovers a series of tiny artifacts in its ancient bindingâ"an insect wing fragment, wine stains, salt crystals, a white hairâ"she begins to unlock the book's mysteries. The reader is ushered into an exquisitely detailed and atmospheric past, tracing the book's journey from its salvation back to its creation. In Bosnia during World War II, a Muslim risks his life to protect it from the Nazis. In the hedonistic salons of fin-de-siècle Vienna, the book becomes a pawn in the struggle against the city's rising anti-Semitism. In inquisition-era Venice, a Catholic priest saves it from burning. In Barcelona in 1492, the scribe who wrote the text sees his family destroyed by the agonies of enforced exile. And in Seville in 1480, the reason for the Haggadah's extraordinary illuminations is finally disclosed. Hanna's investigation unexpectedly plunges her into the intrigues of fine art forgers and ultra-nationalist fanatics. Her experiences will test her belief in herself and the man she has come to love. Inspired by a true story,People of the Bookis at once a novel of sweeping historical grandeur and intimate emotional intensity, an ambitious, electrifying work by an acclaimed and beloved author. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.
