Legends and myths of the Jewish people

The collection includes various ancient Jewish traditions, legends and philosophical parables recorded in the Talmud, as well as extant in the so—called Midrash sections of the Torah, which contain its interpretation. The book, beautifully illustrated by the works of the famous 19th century artist James Tissot, allows us to understand the worldview of the Jewish people in ancient times; the legends included in it are vivid examples of the highly moral life of patriarchs and law teachers, love for people regardless of their nationality and religion. The illustrations to the legends, parables, and tales presented in this edition are the works of the remarkable artist James Tissot (1836-1902).
