A city's shattered peace serves as a rallying cry. In the land of Jabesh, an army looms near, carrying the blood of the inhabitants of conquered lands on their blades. King Dagon sets his sights on Jabesh and every tribe on its land. An ancient myth gives birth to three new heroes. King Gilead, ruler of Jabesh, seeks out hope where it was least expected. The myth of the seven locks of Samson and the power of God rumored to be within them is the last hope for the city of Jabesh. Jair, Namaan, and Shem are the descendants of the heroes of the past. They must step up to secure the future of their tribe. However, in the midst of the violence and betrayal, they must seek the strength within them to put an end to King Dagon's reign of terror once and for all.

Samson is a peculiar character. He is the most powerful of the Israelite judges and three whole chapters in the book of Judges are allocated to him. Yet he demonstrates many weaknesses, not least for the charms of women. In the international conference “Samson: Hero or Fool?” organised at the University of Nijmegen in April, 2008, the texts of Judges 16-18 were studied from different perspectives, investigating how the complex character of this (anti)hero lived on in various ways in the later traditions about him. The contributions discuss also the reception history of the Samson traditions in later Jewish, Christian and Islamic literature, as well as his representation in figurative and performing arts

A historical tour de force, The Invention of the Jewish People offers a groundbreaking account of Jewish and Israeli history. Exploding the myth that there was a forced Jewish exile in the first century at the hands of the Romans, Israeli historian Shlomo Sand argues that most modern Jews descend from converts, whose native lands were scattered across the Middle East and Eastern Europe. In this iconoclastic work, which spent nineteen weeks on the Israeli bestseller list and won the coveted Aujourd'hui Award in France, Sand provides the intellectual foundations for a new vision of Israel's future.
