A 999 AD Sea Voyage from Tangier to Paris Exposing Cultural and Religious Clashes

Set on the eve of the first millennium in the year 999 AD, Israeli novelist A.B. Yehoshua follows Ben-Attar, a North African Jewish merchant from Tangier. Sailing up the coast of Europe to Paris accompanied by his two wives and a Muslim business partner, Ben-Attar travels to resolve a dispute with his nephew, whose new Ashkenazi wife rejects Ben-Attar's bigamous marriage as immoral.

Translated from the Hebrew by Nicholas de Lange, this historical novel explores the cultural divide between Sephardic North African customs, medieval European Ashkenazi traditions, and early medieval commerce.

Why You’ll Love This Book

A.B. Yehoshua presents detailed 10th-century maritime trade logistics, medieval Jewish cultural history, and rich historical fiction prose. Winner of the Koret Jewish Book Award for readers of world literature and historical fiction.
