Author's Note. Notes. Select Bibliography. Index. Signed by the author on the title page. The front of the dust jacket has a large scuff mark. There is an author signature on the title page. George Prochnik was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in general nonfiction in 2021. He is the author of five books of nonfiction including Stranger in a Strange Land, which was a New York Times editors' choice and was short-listed for the 2018 Wingate Literary Prize in the United Kingdom. His previous book, The Impossible Exile, was shortlisted for the 2016 Wingate Literary Prize and won the National Jewish Book Award for Biography, Autobiography, and Memoir. Prochnik is also the author of In Pursuit of Silence, Putnam Camp, and Heinrich Heine: Writing the Revolution. He has written for The New Yorker, The New York Times, Bookforum, and Los Angeles Review of Books, and is editor at large for Cabinet magazine. Born in Grand Junction, Colorado, Prochnik currently lives in London with his wife and their son. Taking his lead from his subject, Gershom Scholem-the 20th century thinker who cracked open Jewish theology and history with a radical reading of Kabbalah-Prochnik combines biography and memoir to counter our contemporary political crisis with an original and urgent reimagining of the future of Israel. In Stranger in a Strange Land, Prochnik revisits the life and work of Gershom Scholem, whose once prominent reputation, as a Freud-like interpreter of the inner world of the Cosmos, has been in eclipse in the United States. He vividly conjures Scholem's upbringing in Berlin, and compellingly brings to life Scholem's transformative friendship with Walter Benjamin, the critic and philosopher. In doing so, he reveals how Scholem's frustration with the bourgeois ideology of Germany during the First World War led him to discover Judaism, Kabbalah, and finally Zionism, as potent counter-forces to Europe's suicidal nationalism. Prochnik's own years in the Holy Land in the 1990s brings him to question the stereotypical intellectual and theological constructs of Jerusalem, and to rediscover the city as a physical place, rife with the unruliness and fecundity of nature. Prochnik ultimately suggests that a new form of ecological pluralism must now inherit the historically energizing role once played by Kabbalah and Zionism in Jewish thought. Derived from a Kirkus review: A convert to Judaism was deeply influenced by a prolific Jewish intellectual. Melding biography and memoir, National Jewish Book Award winner Prochnik examines the life and work of Gershom Scholem (1897-1982), philological archaeologist of the mystical roots of Judaism. Normative Judaismto which Prochnik converted in his 20sfailed him just as it had failed Scholem. Growing up in a bourgeois, assimilated German family, Scholem became a Zionist at the age of 11, vowing to go to Palestine, and by his teens, he became obsessed with cabala, a network of "widely diversified and often contradictory" texts. At the age of 17, he met Walter Benjamin, beginning an intense, sometimes-difficult friendship based on common passions. Prochnik traces the evolution of Scholem's parsing of "the underlying cosmological principles" of cabala, "its metaphysics." Although Prochnik faithfully and respectfully offers a detailed examination of these metaphysical works, they remain abstract and paradoxical. Prochnik vividly renders his own journey to define his relationship to Judaism, which took him and his wife to Jerusalem in search of a spiritual home. They were following Scholem's path to find "some more galvanizing external form of Judaism" than what they found in America, something "higher and purer." As they settled into Israeli culture, however, they found increasing consumerism, turbulent politics, violence that included the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin and the election of Benjamin Netanyahu, and strife and oppression among Palestinians that they struggled to fully understand. Frustrated, unable to make a living, the family decided to return to the U.S., where the marriage finally unraveled and where Prochnik's commitment to both Zionism and Judaism floundered. A candid testament of two men passionately trying to revive and reimagine Judaism.

First Edition. The Ensign's Prize Court: Recovered Pirate's Booty, The Heinlein Society, 2007, first edition thus, #3/29 such sets, with SIGNED (by Heinlein Society President David M. Silver) limited edition pages detailing the history of this production. Contents include the following 8 titles: The Green Hills of Earth, Stranger in a Strange Land, Ordeal in Space, The Notebooks of Lazarus Long, Sixth Column, The Menace from Earth, Methuselah's Children & Life Line, all issued without dust-wrappers. Of particular importance are Ordeal in Space, Life Line & The Notebooks of Lazarus Long. The former two are first hard-cover editions with these titles and these exact contents. The Notebooks of Lazarus Long appears to have been produced in a very small print run and this is the first and only hard-cover edition. (While several of these volumes denote a limitation number for the copies produced, all of these titles are piracies and thus one must assume that these print run numbers are spurious. While I have seen, purchased and sold several of these individual pirated titles long before 2007, I have never noted or seen a copy of the hard-cover edition of The Notebooks of Lazarus Long up close and personal nor have I seen one offered for sale anywhere in any store nor catalog).
