Overview

La storia è ambientata nell'Europa dell'Est durante la metà del diciannovesimo e l'inizio del ventesimo secolo ed è basata sulla vita e sul lavoro di Berta Friedberg, che ha scritto sotto lo pseudonimo di Isabella Arkadyevna Grinevskaya. Cresciuta a Grodno dal padre, lo scrittore ebraico Avraham Shalom Friedberg (1838-1902), Berta è cresciuta in un ambiente ricco di spiritualità, filosofia e passione per la scrittura. Divenne uno dei più importanti drammaturghi, poeti e scrittori russi. Il suo lavoro ""Bab"" ha ricevuto lodi speciali dal rinomato autore Leo Tolstoij, mentre due delle sue opere essenziali sono state dedicate ai leader della setta Baha'i. Isabella era una donna avventurosa e sicura di sé, animata da una profonda convinzione nei diritti delle donne, che la rese una figura di spicco nel movimento femminista del suo tempo.

Uri Jerzy Nachimson was born in Szczecin, Poland, in 1947. Two years later, his parents emigrated to Israel. In 1966, he served in the Israeli army in the Northern Command for three years. He participated in the Six-Day War as a photographer in combat. As a freelance photographer, he wandered around Prague as crowds demonstrated in front of Soviet tanks. His travels to Egypt are the inspiration for his book, Seeds of Love. In 1990, he returned for the first time to Poland to seek his roots. He was deeply affected by the attitude of the Poles towards the Jews during and after World War II, and he started to research the history of the Jews of Poland. Thus, the trilogy was born: Lilly's Album, The Polish Patriot, and Identity. Uri's grandmother, Ida Friedberg, was the granddaughter of the Jewish writer A.S.
