Publisher Description
A plane en route from New York to Tel Aviv is forced down by bad weather. A nearby house provides refuge for five of its passengers: Claudia, who has left her husband and found new love; Razziel, a religious teacher who was once a political prisoner; Yoav, a terminally ill Israeli commando; George, an archivist who is hiding a Holocaust secret that could bring down a certain politician; and Bruce, a would-be priest turned philanderer. Their host - an enigmatic and disquieting man who calls himself simply the Judge - begins to interrogate them, forcing them to face the truth and meaning of their lives. Soon he announces that one of them-the least worthy - will die.

"Precteno behem jednoho dne. Neuveritelná psychologie - príbehy - i zastrešující motiv.Zvlášt popis pocitu ve vezení mi naprosto bral dech. Musím si precíst i neco dalšího od stejného autora. "

The Judges Listener Reviews
-
" Not badly written, just lame premise. Confusing. "
— Diane, 9/13/2010 -
" I should have been in a more contemplative mood to read this. "
— Tinaroo_artist, 11/8/2009 -
" I was really disappointed. The book is filled with trite philosophical diatribe and its digressions leave one wanting to return to the main plot. The ending is terribly predictable. It is a nice allegorical attempt...but I wouldn't read it twice. "
— Leslie-ann, 8/26/2009 -
" <strong>Pros: </strong> <br/>* Beautiful writing. <br/> <br/><strong>Cons:</strong> <br/>* To me it seemed more like a philosophical discussion than an interesting story and that is not my cup of tea. <br/> <br/><strong>Other: </strong> "

" I enjoyed this book very much; however, I felt that it was a bit confusing due to all the different stories intertwined together. It definitely makes you think about what you're living for. "
— Maria, 3/23/2009 -
" Interesting in looking at how people deal with being faced with death and extreme situations, but i really didn't like it. "
— Liberty, 2/17/2009 -

" Wiesel is, no doubt, an amazing writer. This book was okay but it didn't move me the way "Night" did. "
— Nicole, 11/22/2008 -
" this book was not what i thought it was and didnt move me. i also figured out the ending "
— Katherine, 11/11/2008 -
" This is a well written late-stormy-night with a bottle of Merlot read. "
