Splendor s Intrigue Isaac Nahon

"Splendor's Intrigue," a genealogical novel written by a member of an old Sephardic family, becomes the center of a plot in which secret services, terrorists and academics all become parts of the complicated Middle Eastern geo-politics. The Ha'Levi Abulafia family saga, which begins in biblical times and goes through the Spanish forced exile of Jews to Christopher Columbus' discovery of the New World and ultimately to modern days, hides a secret which has only been transmitted orally from generation to generation. What is that secret? Who is interested in revealing it? What consequences would it bring to the world if its truth is revealed? A conspiracy of appearances and intrigues holds the ultimate key to discovering its dangerous "truth." "A powerful intrigue where the daily and the sacred merge with international geopolitics and the future of humanity. An un-relenting in crescendo pace which allows no rest until it reaches an outcome in which characters and stories converge to the edge of vertigo." ---The National Newspaper
