But when he meets Vivi, a fortyish waitress at a Tel Aviv café, the fires of his youth flare back to life--his passion for a woman's touch, his long-buried anguish at his wartime experiences, and his complex engagement with dance. Vivi's life will change, too, as the warmth of Teo's affection counterbalances her harrowing time as an Israeli soldier in an illicit relationship. For both, their investment in art, and indeed in life itself, will reawaken as the ghosts of their suppressed pasts--from Warsaw to Copenhagen, Berlin to Tel Aviv--cry out for forgiveness and healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith lustrous prose capturing the grit and fury of history and the breathtaking power of passion, \u003cem\u003eWhen We Danced on Water\u003c\/em\u003e is a compelling novel of intimacy and identity, art and ambition, and how love can truly transcend tragedy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.66 x 8.04 x 5.29 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 17, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58914641051992,"sku":"9780062033321","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/1220\/7960\/files\/Pvr1aeAHfh9780062033321.webp?v=1792781555"},{"product_id":"island-of-the-day-before-paperback","title":"Island of the Day Before - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eUmberto Eco\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA fascinating, lyrical tale about an Italian nobleman stranded on a deserted ship in the Pacific Ocean--a \"dazzling blend of science and fantasy\" (\u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e) and a \"masterpiece\" (\u003cem\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoberto della Griva is an Italian nobleman living in 1643.

Determined to see the world in its beauty, ferocity, and ultimate justice, he does so, in scenes of gorgeous color and great excitement, as a child in the Hudson Valley, fighting Rastifarians in Jamaica, at Harvard, in a slaughterhouse on the Great Plains, in the Mexican desert, on the sea, and in the Alps. Finally he is drawn to Israel to confront the logic of his birth, in a crucible of war, magic, suffering, and grace. At the opening of the book, he is one of the dying wounded being transported to Haifa during the 1973 war. We follow him as he dreams, reconstructing his life, until, by the strength of what he has learned, suffered, and hoped, Marshall Pearl rises. \u003cbr\u003e\"Every once in a while a book appears that engulfs you in its limitless beauty.
