Description:

Harry Hopeman, miembro de una dinastÃa de diamantistas, recibe un dÃa una propuesta: recuperar un diamante legendario que ha despertado interés de gente muy dispar. El encargo, que llevará a Harry a abandonar Nueva York para instalarse en Tierra Santa, se convertirá en un viaje casi iniciático en el que el tratante se reencontrará con sus raÃces. La historia del diamante, desde los tiempos bÃblicos hasta la actualidad, sirve no sólo de hilo conductor para narrar las vicisitudes de la familia Hopeman, cuyos orÃgenes se remontan a los tiempos de la Inquisición, sino tamién para ofrecer una rica panorámica del judaÃsmo y su intensa relación con las culturas musulmana y cristiana a lo largo de los siglos. / Harry Hopeman, a member of a dynasty of diamonds, one day receives a proposal: retrieve a legendary diamond that has aroused the interest of very disparate people. The commission, which will take Harry to leave New York to settle in the Holy Land, will become an almost initiatory journey in which the trafficker was reunited with her roots. The history of the diamond, from Biblical times until today, serves not only common thread to tell the vicissitudes of Hopeman family, whose origins date back to the times of the Inquisition, but tamién to offer a rich panorama of Judaism and its intense relationship with the Muslim and Christian cultures over the centuries.
