Il veut en faire sa maîtresse.
Elle cède, fascinée par son désir.


Leur amour adultère engendre le mensonge et le meurtre. Pourtant, il triomphera de la colère de Dieu, de la désapprobation des hommes et l'enfant né de cette union aura un destin hors du commun, laissant son nom à jamais gravé dans l'histoire...

Marek Halter was born in Poland in 1936. During World War II, he and his parents narrowly escaped from the Warsaw ghetto. After a time in Russia and Uzbekistan, they emigrated to France in 1950. There Halter studied pantomime with Marcel Marceau and embarked on a career as a painter that led to several international exhibitions. In 1967, he founded the International Committee for a Negotiated Peace Agreement in the Near East and played a crucial role in the organization of the first official meetings between Palestinians and Israelis.

In the 1970s, Marek Halter turned to writing. He first published The Madman and the Kings, which was awarded the Prix Aujourd’hui in 1976. He is also the author of several internationally acclaimed, bestselling historical novels, including The Messiah, The Mysteries of Jerusalem, The Book of Abraham, which won the Prix du Livre Inter, and Sarah, the first of the Canaan trilogy, and Lilah, the concluding one.

Un livre très memorable. Félicitations M. Halter! J'ai beaucoup appris de cet patients du Bible et a pro pos du roi David et du Betsabée. Urie était un bon gars. Le prophète Nathan était un bon répresentant du Dieu. J'appris que, il faut contrôler votre désir et être sage en pensant de la future. Je recommande ce livre à les femmes et les hommes. Ils doivent faire attention. Très bon livre! Les cinq étoiles ne sont pas asset pour cet livre.
