        The House in Baiting Hollow

        by Vasyl Makhno

        Events, described by Vasyl Makhno in a debut collection of short prose, are happening at different times and in different places, and no matter who the storyteller is – a man over fifty, a grey-headed widow or a little boy – you believe them; because there are no author’s generalizations, conclusions or guidelines. These impartial stories tell us about fates of completely different people, honestly and without pathos. It is honesty and simplicity that make this prose so different; common and simple details, at first sight, add mystery and hold the reader in suspense throughout the entire book.

Dabei verstrickt er sich immer tiefer in ein Netz von Morden und Intrigen und sieht sich mit zahlreichen ungelösten Fragen konfrontiert. Doch sein Wissen im Bereich der Kabbala, einer mystischen Buchstaben- und Zahlenlehre ermöglicht ihm, das Unglück, das seiner Familie und vielen anderen Menschen droht, abzuwenden. Die wechselhafte Historie der Eroberungen Jerusalems und die Lehren der Kabbala sind spannungsvoll in die Erzählung gewoben. Ihre Relevanz und Bedeutung für die Geschichte wird am Ende des Buches deutlich. Der Kabbala-Code ist ein aufregender und packender Thriller. Dank seiner einzigartigen Struktur, der bereichernden Thematik des geheimen Wissens der Kabbala und der überraschenden Auflösung fesselt die Geschichte ihre Leser. Dorit Ginzburg-Silbermann hat das Buch zusammen mit dem israelischen Kabbalisten Nathan Erez (Pseudonym) geschrieben, der bis heute seine wahre Identität nicht preisgibt. Dr. Ginzburg-Silberman lehrt Literaturwissenschaft an führenden Universitäten in Israel.
