Summary: |
|
| Illustrated with beautiful cut-paper collages, the author/illustrator retells the legend of the Golem (a man created from clay), who saves the Jews of 16th Century Prague from persecution. A lengthy endnote recounts the history of the Golem and the persecution of the Jews in Europe with explanations of many terms. | |
Teaching Ideas: |
|
| Discussion strategies will be helpful in addressing topics such as the relationship of the Rabbi and the Golem and how the Golem becomes more human as the story progresses. Readers might enjoy creating a script for a Readers' Theater presentation. More information on the Jewish mythology of the Golem can be found on the Internet, especially the link to Tolkien's work now in film and DVD. Readers can search the Eureka database for other books illustrated by David Wisniewski in cut-paper collages. | |
