MARY-Founders of Christianity Book 3-SHOLEM ASCH-Excellent 1949 Hardcover Book!

Description: Hi! You're looking at an excellent condition book which is a classic novel of the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, written by SHOLEM ASCH as book three of a trilogy dealing with the Cruxifiction of Christ and the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul--the book is an unstated First Edition and HARDCOVER published in 1949 by G. P. Putnam's Sons and has no dustjacket. This book is in excellent condition and is a former library copy with typical markings, a removed blank first page, and small bits of tape residue on the upper and lower center edges of the covers where a jacket was attached; the book has very light dings on the spine tips and lower opening tips, slight discoloration on the lower edge of the back surface, very light dustwear on the upper page edge and just very light shelfwear and slight evidence of gentle browsing but no other significant imperfections! The book is titled Mary and it was written by SHOLEM ASCH and translated by LEO STEINBERG; it was published by G. P. Putnam's Sons in 1949 and is an unstated 1st Edition copy.In Mary Asch confronts the greatest mystery of all---the mother of the Messiah and her relation to her son and her world. This portrayal of Miriam-as he calls her-is perceptive and tender and rich in intuitive insights into the heart of the devout young girl who finds herself marked for the glorious but terrifying role of which every Jewish girl dreamed- that of bearing the Messiah.A distinctive element in the book is its detailed account of the childhood and boyhood of Jesus. We are given a fine picture of the first subtle intimations of a mission, of attributes which set this child apart from his parents, his brothers, his fellow Nazarenes. These qualities engender love, but also resentment. A few perceive the great man to come, but many foretell, gloomily, a headstrong course that can come to no good end. Both predictions are eventually fulfilled as the man, his doctrines and his fate change the world.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
