A man travels to Israel to uncover a diamond’s remarkable past in this vivid historical saga from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Physician. A diamond cutter and seller from a long, respected line of precious-gem dealers, New Yorker Harry Hopeman is intrigued by the story of the so-called “Jerusalem Diamond,” a magnificent yellow jewel rumored to date back to the biblical time of King Solomon. So when he’s asked to broker a deal that will return the legendary gemstone to Israel, he eagerly accepts. Arriving in the volatile Middle East, Hopeman soon discovers that his assignment will be anything but easy. Representatives of the Holy Land’s three major religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—are all laying claim to the priceless jewel that once adorned the miter of Pope Gregory, and they will do anything to possess it. Partnering with Israeli government agent Tamar Strauss—a beautiful and courageous Yemenite war widow who inspires the visiting American’s passion as well as his respect—Hopeman is soon entangled in a web of mystery and intrigue that crosses continents and stretches back thousands of years. As the duo follows the twisting travels of the gem and the bloody conflicts it has ignited throughout its extraordinary past—a history that intertwines with Hopeman’s own family saga—the story of a breathtaking land and its people unfolds in all its drama and glory. International-bestselling author Noah Gordon—whose acclaimed historical novel The Physician was the inspiration for the major motion picture of the same name starring Ben Kingsley— “has packed a suspense tale with religious, historical and archeological underpinnings, along with fascinating insights into an industry whose conduct is generally shrouded from outside scrutiny” (The Philadelphia Inquirer).

Con el acierto que le ha convertido en un referente del género de la narrativa histórica, Noah Gordon -autor de El médico y La bodega, entre otros títulos destacados- nos ofrece un absorbente viaje a través de la Historia, a la vez que una emocionante novela. La emocionante búsqueda de un valioso diamante a través de la historia. Harry Hopeman, miembro de una dinastía de diamantistas, recibe un día una propuesta: recuperar un diamante legendario que ha despertado interés de gente muy dispar. El encargo, que llevará a Harry a abandonar Nueva York para instalarse en Tierra Santa, se convertirá en un viaje casi iniciático en el que el tratante se reencontrará con sus raíces. La historia del diamante, desde los tiempos bíblicos hasta la actualidad, sirve no solo de hilo conductor para narrar las vicisitudes de la familia Hopeman, cuyos orígenes se remontan a los tiempos de la Inquisición, sino también para ofrecer una rica panorámica del judaísmo y su intensa relación con las culturas musulmana y cristiana a lo largo de los siglos.

Héritier d'une longue lignée de joailliers, Harry Hopeman n'est guère surpris quand on le mandate pour négocier l'acquisition d'un diamant au destin légendaire : tour à tour fierté du temple de Salomon, trésor chéri de Saladin, puis extraordinaire ornement de la mitre papale, la pierre avait obsédé son père qui prétendait que ses ancêtres avaient eu le privilège de la tailler. Harry est certes alléché par la quête qui se profile, mais peu ravi à la perspective d'être le jouet du Mossad, du Vatican ou d'intérêts arabes. Alors au diable les passions politico-religieuses qui se déchaînent : s'il doit retrouver le diamant, ce sera en mémoire des grands hommes qui, par-delà les âges, au gré du hasard et de l'errance, lui ont transmis leur art. Le Diamant de Jérusalem : un palpitant roman d'aventures, écrit de main de maître par l'auteur du Dernier Juif.

Based on previously unexamined historical documents found in archives in Belgium, England, Israel, the Netherlands, and the United States, this book is the first in English to tell the story of the formation of one of the world's main strongholds of diamond production and trade in Palestine during the 1930s and 1940s. The history of the diamond-cutting industry, characterized by a long-standing Jewish presence, is discussed as a social history embedded in the international political economy of its times; the genesis of the industry in Palestine is placed on a broad continuum within the geographic and economic dislocations of Dutch, Belgian, and German diamond-cutting centers. In providing a micro-historical and interdisciplinary perspective, the story of the diamond industry in Mandate Palestine proposes a more nuanced picture of the uncritical approach to the strict boundaries of ethnic-based occupational communities.

O judeu Harry Hopeman tem um conhecimento profundo sobre pedras preciosas, uma herança atávica. Desde os tempos bíblicos, passando pela Inquisição, à perseguição nazista e atentados árabes, seus ancestrais trabalham com diamantes. Nem sempre foram tão prósperos como os judeus foragidos que perambulavam pelas ruas de Nova York, vendendo diamantes enrolados em lencinhos de pano, mas que, com a perseverança característica desta cultura antiga, construíram fortunas incalculáveis como as dos Hopeman & Sons. O milionário Harry Hopeman aparentemente não tem a menor atração pela intriga internacional. Mas seus preciosos conhecimentos, um know how único no mundo, são disputados por representantes clandestinos da OPEP, pela Igreja Católica, e por judeus militantes da causa de Israel ligados à sua família. Só ele poderá avaliar se um fabuloso diamante posto à venda no Oriente Médio é uma antiga pedra doada à Igreja Católica à época da Inquisição, parte de um tesouro sagrado dos antigos hebreus e desaparecido muitos anos antes de Cristo. Harry Hopeman tenta em vão recusar as propostas para fornecer um laudo sobre tal preciosidade. Um trabalho acompanhado por espiões de todas as organizações. Mas ele não resiste a resgatar o caminho de seus antepassados em busca de sua própria identidade, de sua própria cultura. O escritor Noah Gordon, que se transformou em fenômeno literário mundial com os best-sellers O físico, Xamã e A escolha da Dra. Cole, sobre a saga comovente de gerações de médicos, constrói aqui, com o mesmo talento de historiador minucioso e surpreendente ficcionista, um romance de espionagem. Ao mesmo tempo, ele desvenda os enigmas do judaísmo — uma cultura comovente, dolorosa, fechada em si mesma, mas preciosa como um raro diamante.
