Requests:  0 Summary:  A fictionalized account of the travels of Benjamin, a Jewish man from Tudela, Spain, who, in 1159, set out on a fourteen-year-long journey that took him to Italy, Greece, Palestine, Persia, China, Egypt, and Sicily. Imagine a time when streets were narrow and dirty, towns were surrounded by walls, brigands lurked alongside roads that were treacherous and few, bridges over rivers were rare, and a man setting out on a journey never knew if he would return alive. It was the year 1159 when the medieval Jewish traveler Benjamin left his native town of Tudela in northern Spain on an adventure to see the places he had read about in the Bible. He traveled for fourteen years - from Rome to Constantinople to Jerusalem to Baghdad, among others - by ship, by cart, and on foot, enduring great hardships in his quest for knowledge of other places and people. Working from Benjamin's original chronicle, written in Hebrew, as well as other sources on the period, Uri Shulevitz captures the true spirit of this amazing adventurer, using a text written in the first person and superlative illustrations.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library J -- Juvenile Closed Stacks Shulevitz Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Shulevitz Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library J -- Juvenile Fiction Shulevitz Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library J -- Juvenile Fiction Shulevitz Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library J -- Juvenile Oversize Shulevitz Checked In Add Copy to MyList
