The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara
Author: David I. Kertzer
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307486710
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
Soon to be a major motion picture from Steven Spielberg. A National Book Award Finalist The extraordinary story of how the vatican's imprisonment of a six-year-old Jewish boy in 1858 helped to bring about the collapse of the popes' worldly power in Italy. Bologna: nightfall, June 1858. A knock sounds at the door of the Jewish merchant Momolo Mortara. Two officers of the Inquisition bust inside and seize Mortara's six-year-old son, Edgardo. As the boy is wrenched from his father's arms, his mother collapses. The reason for his abduction: the boy had been secretly "baptized" by a family servant. According to papal law, the child is therefore a Catholic who can be taken from his family and delivered to a special monastery where his conversion will be completed. With this terrifying scene, prize-winning historian David I. Kertzer begins the true story of how one boy's kidnapping became a pivotal event in the collapse of the Vatican as a secular power. The book evokes the anguish of a modest merchant's family, the rhythms of daily life in a Jewish ghetto, and also explores, through the revolutionary campaigns of Mazzini and Garibaldi and such personages as Napoleon III, the emergence of Italy as a modern national state. Moving and informative, the Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara reads as both a historical thriller and an authoritative analysis of how a single human tragedy changed the course of history.

He’s too big, too grumpy, and entirely too attractive. So, what’s he doing with a frumpy wallflower like me? I have no idea and he won’t tell me. All I do know is that it started five days ago when I walked into the bar that he works at and he’s been glued to my side ever since. I should be annoyed by his bossy attitude or sick of him always watching me, but the big guy is growing on me. Until he tells me what happened the first night that we met. Now I’m just wondering which of us is crazier. And why being with him feels so right.
