Jonah

Jonah is a book written by Louis Stone, an Australian author, and was first published in 1911. The novel revolves around the life of Jonah, a young Jewish man who is torn between his traditional upbringing and his desire for a modern lifestyle. Jonah's father, a rabbi, wants him to follow in his footsteps and become a religious leader, but Jonah yearns for a more secular life. As the story progresses, Jonah falls in love with a non-Jewish woman named Rose, which causes further conflict with his family and community. He must navigate the complexities of his relationships while also dealing with his own internal struggles. The novel is set in the early 20th century and explores themes of identity, tradition, and modernity. It also delves into the cultural and religious tensions that existed in Australia at the time, particularly between the Jewish and non-Jewish communities. Overall, Jonah is a thought-provoking and insightful novel that offers a unique perspective on the challenges faced by young people in a rapidly changing world.And suddenly, with a contraction at his heart, a fear and dread of Jonah swept through Paasch, the vague, primeval distrust and suspicion of the deformed that lurks in the normal man, a survival of the ancient hostility that in olden times consigned them to the stake as servants of the Evil One.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
