Send material as plain text: no HTML, other coding,or attachments;and write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line. 3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From: [email protected] Date: Oct. 8, 2012 Tolmitch EBooks is bringing the works of the great Yiddish writer Sholem Asch to a wider audience through their publication in eBook format. This month we are publishing Asch's controversial bestseller, "The Apostle." It is the story of Saul of Tarsis, a fiercely zealous Jew who became the Apostle Paul and preached the doctrine of the New Christianity throughout the ancient world. "The Apostle" offers a vivid depiction of the Roman Empire. The orgies and intrigues of Nero's court. The cruelty, decadence and intellectual arrogance of the Roman empire. Asch saw Paul as the embodiment of the eternal link between Jews and Christians. "The Apostle" sold 500,000 copies and was critically acclaimed throughout the world, but was never published in Yiddish. Asch was accused of apostasy for his sympathetic portrayal of the New Christians and was ostracized by many members of the Jewish community.
