Harry Hopeman, miembro de una dinastAa de diamantistas, recibe un dAa una propuesta: recuperar un diamante legendario que ha despertado interA(c)s de gente muy dispar. El encargo, que llevarA! a Harry a abandonar Nueva York para instalarse en Tierra Santa, se convertirA! en un viaje casi iniciA!tico en el que el tratante se reencontrarA! con sus raAces. La historia del diamante, desde los tiempos bAblicos hasta la actualidad, sirve no sA3lo de hilo conductor para narrar las vicisitudes de la familia Hopeman, cuyos orAgenes se remontan a los tiempos de la InquisiciA3n, sino tamiA(c)n para ofrecer una rica panorA!mica del judaAsmo y su intensa relaciA3n con las culturas musulmana y cristiana a lo largo de los siglos. / Harry Hopeman, a member of a dynasty of diamonds, one day receives a proposal: retrieve a legendary diamond that has aroused the interest of very disparate people. The commission, which will take Harry to leave New York to settle in the Holy Land, will become an almost initiatory journey in which the trafficker was reunited with her roots. The history of the diamond, from Biblical times until today, serves not only common thread to tell the vicissitudes of Hopeman family, whose origins date back to the times of the Inquisition, but tamiA(c)n to offer a rich panorama of Judaism and its intense relationship with the Muslim and Christian cultures over the centuries.
