Inspired by a story told to the author by his grandmother. For the family of the little red-headed Malka, trading the Russian shtetl for the Argentine pampas isn't so easy. Even in a country eager to populate its vast territories, the immigrants discover that their new home isn't the promised land. They encounter hostility from both man and nature, as they struggle through droughts and locusts in an attempt to cultivate the arid soil. When misery pushes them to the extreme, Malka's uncle is visited by the prophet Elias, who advises that he create a Golem--the mythical creature fashioned from earth and endowed with life by engraving on his body the word Emet ("Truth")--to pose as a man and aid the immigrants. When years later the adult Malka is visited by Elias, the events of her youth force her to decide whether or not she can maintain her silence--with fate and divine justice hanging in the balance. 586 $a Winner of the Best Foreign Graphic Album award at the AngouleÌme Festival. 650 0 $a Jews $z Argentina $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 7 $a Jews. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983135 651 7 $a Argentina. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205614 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft 655 4 $a Graphic novels. 655 7 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423722 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726630 700 1 $a Pellejero, RubeÌn, $d 1952- $e illustrator. 700 1 $a Mullaney, Dean, $d 1954- $e editor. 700 1 $a Guzman-Verdugo, Carlos, $e translator. 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021020545.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20190601010359.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20190418010857.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20190118010832.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=94E99898E96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
