{"product_id":"book-gnxr","title":"Before All the World","description":"In the swirl of Philadelphia at the end of Prohibition, Leyb meets Charles. They are at a former speakeasy called Cricket's, a bar that welcomes, as Charles says in his secondhand Yiddish, \u003ci\u003efeygeles\u003c\/i\u003e. Leyb is startled; fourteen years in \u003ci\u003eamerike\u003c\/i\u003e has taught him that his native tongue is not known beyond his people. And yet here is suave Charles, a Black man from the Seventh Ward, a fellow traveler of Red Emma's, speaking Jewish to a young man he will come to call Lion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLion is haunted by memories of life before, in Zatelsk, where everyone in his village, everyone except the ten non-Jews, a young poet named Gittl, and Leyb himself, was taken to the forest and killed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd then, miraculously, Gittl is in Philadelphia, too, thanks to a poem she wrote and the intervention of a shadowy character known only as the Baroness of Philadelphia. And surrounding Gittl are \u003ci\u003emalokhim\u003c\/i\u003e, the spirits of her siblings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoriel Rothman-Zecher's \u003ci\u003eBefore All the World\u003c\/i\u003e lays bare the impossibility of escaping trauma, the necessity of believing in a better way ahead, and the power that comes from our responsibility to the future. It asks the most essential question: What do you intend to do before all the world?","brand":"Highbridge Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49358251360560,"sku":"BDgnxr","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49358251458864,"sku":"ZEgnxr","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49358251524400,"sku":"ZMgnxr","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/gnxr-cover.jpg?v=1765865479","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-gnxr","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
