A stirring testament to the strength of the human spirit & the power of music, Violins of Hope tells the remarkable stories of violins played by Jewish musicians during the Holocaust & of the Israeli violinmaker dedicated to bringing these inspirational instruments back to life. The violin has formed an important aspect of Jewish culture for centuries, both as a popular instrument with Jewish classical musicians & as a central part of social life, as in the Klezmer tradition. But during the Holocaust, the violin assumed extraordinary roles within the Jewish community. For some musicians, the instrument was a liberator; for others, it was a savior that spared their lives. For many, the violin provided comfort in mankind`s darkest hour, &, in at least one case, a violin helped avenge murdered family members. Above all, the violins of the Holocaust represented strength & optimism for the future. Today, these instruments serve as powerful reminders of an unimaginable experience--they are memorials to those who perished & testaments to those who survived. In this spirit, renowned Israeli violinmaker Amnon Weinstein has devoted the past twenty years to restoring the violins of the Holocaust as a tribute to those who were lost, including four hundred of his own relatives. Behind each of these violins is a uniquely fascinating & inspiring story. Juxtaposing these narratives against one man`s harrowing struggle to reconcile his own family`s history & the history of his people, this insightful, moving, & achingly human book presents a new way of understanding the Holocaust. ...

The Virago Book of Women Travellers is an anthology compiled from three hundred years of female wanderlust, in search of pleasure & peril. Extracts have been taken from the writings of Gertrude Bell, Isabelle Eberhardt, Rose Macaulay, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Dervla Murphy, Freya Stark, Vita Sackville West, Mary Wollstonecraft & many more. Their prose rich in description, remarkable in detail. Mary Mc Carthy conveys the vitality of Florence while Willa Cather`s essay on Lavandou foreshadows her descriptions of the French countryside in later novels. Others are more active participants in the culture they are visiting, such as Leila Philip, as she harvests rice with chiding Japanese women, or Emily Carr, as she wins the respect & trust of the female chieftain of an Indian village in Northern Canada. Whether it is curiosity about the world, a thirst for adventure or escape from personal tragedy, all of these women are united in that they approached their journeys with wit, intelligence, compassion & empathy for the lives of those they encountered along the way. ...
