GIFT OF ASHER LEV/ by/ CHAIM POTOK". In Part: "Afterward I lived in Paris, in the
same apartment where I painted the Brooklyn Crucifixion. I married Devorah, and we moved to
the Rue des Rosiers...I made many drawings and paintings of Devorah and Rocheleh, but I kept
most of them for my own collection and would not show or sell them. I make many drawings and
paintings of Paris and of the old ones in our neighborhood...." The Gift of Asher Lev was
published in 1990, 23 years after Chaim Potok (1929-2002), born Herman Harold Potok,
had emerged as a prominent figure on the American literary scene with The Chosen
(1967). The Gift of Asher Lev focuses on a devout Ladover Hasid who has become an
internationally known painter. The book was the seventh of Potok's eight novels. The
author/rabbi also wrote non-fiction works, short stories, and plays that offered in-depth looks
into Jewish culture. His debut novel The Chosen sold over 3 million copies. Lightly
creased. Otherwise, fine condition.
