"I've begun to realize that you can listen to silence and learn from it. It has a quality and a dimension all its own": First Edition of The Chosen; Inscribed by Chaim Potok
First edition of the author's first book. Octavo, original cloth. Inscribed by the author to Thorkild Jacobsen, one of the foremost scholar on the ancient near east. "To Thornkild Jacobsen With esteem and deep gratitude for his help... Chaim Potok 29th Nov 78." Near fine in a very good dust jacket that shows some of the usual fading to the spine.
It is the now-classic story, The Chosen tells the story of two fathers and two sons and the pressures on all of them to pursue the religion they share in the way that is best suited to each. And as the boys grow into young men, they discover in the other a lost spiritual brother, and a link to an unexplored world that neither had ever considered before. "Anyone who finds it is finding a jewel. Its themes are profound and universal" (The Wall Street Journal).
