Chaim Potok - Asher Lev Séries

Cette série retrace la vie et le parcours artistique d'un peintre talentueux grandissant au sein d'une communauté hassidique stricte. Son talent extraordinaire est perçu comme une tentation et une menace pour sa foi, le forçant à faire des choix difficiles entre son art et la tradition. Nous suivons ses luttes intérieures et extérieures, ses conflits avec sa famille et sa communauté, et sa quête d'identité personnelle au carrefour de deux mondes. Les récits explorent les thèmes de la foi, de l'art, de l'identité et de la relation complexe entre le judaïsme et le monde extérieur.

    NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In this modern classic from the National Book Award–nominated author of The Chosen, a young religious artist is compulsively driven to render the world he sees and feels, even when it leads him to blasphemy. “A novel of finely articulated tragic power .... Little short of a work of genius.”—The New York Times Book Review Asher Lev is a Ladover Hasid who keeps kosher, prays three times a day and believes in the Ribbono Shel Olom, the Master of the Universe. He grows up in a cloistered Hasidic community in postwar Brooklyn, a world suffused by ritual and revolving around a charismatic Rebbe. He is torn between two identities, the one consecrated to God, the other devoted only to art and his imagination, and in time, his artistic gift threatens to estrange him from that world and the parents he adores. As it follows his struggle, My Name Is Asher Lev becomes a luminous, visionary portrait of the artist, by turns heartbreaking and exultant.
