The Will to Live on: This Is Our Heritage FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Will to Live On is a major new work of nonfiction, an illuminating account of the worldwide revolution that has been sweeping over Jewry, set against a swiftly reviewed background of history, tradition, and sacred literature.
Forty years ago, in his modern classic This Is My God, Herman Wouk stated the case for his religious beliefs and conduct. His aim in that work and in The Will to Live On has been to break through the crust of prejudice, to reawaken clearheaded thought about the magnificent Jewish patrimony, and to convey a message of hope for Jewish survival.
Although the Torah and the Talmud are timeless, the twentieth century has brought earthquake shocks to the Jews. After a lifetime of study, Herman Wouk examines the changes affecting the Jewish world.
Learned in general culture and warmly tolerant of other beliefs, this noted author expresses his own faith with a passion that gives the book its fire. He does so in a clear, engaging style that makes the reader want to know what the next page will bring.
