תקציר הספר
"Of God And Madness" is the fictional story of Adam, an emotionally troubled young man, whose spiritual journey enables him to become a godly adult. Adam is a child of a Jewish woman, a palace concubine, and the last of the Ottoman sultans. Raised in palatial surroundings by a French Catholic governess, Adam was exposed to the teachings of all three of the religions of Abraham, as he was tutored by an Armenian Christian music teacher, a Muslim Imam, and a Jewish Rabbi. In this intriguing saga, which spans the first fifty years of the last century, Adam, while attempting to maintain his own precarious sanity, comes of age during the tumultuous end of the Ottoman Empire. Ensnared by the havoc created by World War I in Istanbul and World War II in Paris, as well as by the turmoil in Jerusalem during the final years of the British rule, Adam struggles to make sense of God. This is the story of a person who began searching for God and ended up finding himself, redeeming his spiritual journey. At the end of his quest, Adam sublimely affirms: 'God believes in me. I want to love.'
