    [synopsis] => From one of Israel's most lauded contemporary writers, this book retells the myth of Samson-one of the most tempestuous, charismatic, and colorful characters in the Hebrew Bible.

Few other Bible stories feature as much drama and action, narrative fireworks and raw emotion: the battle with the lion; the three hundred burning foxes; the women he bedded and the one woman that he loved; his betrayal by all the women in his life, from his mother to Delilah; and, in the end, his murderous suicide, when he brought the house down on himself and three thousand Philistines.

This is a remarkable portrait of, in the words of the author, a "lonely and turbulent soul who never found, anywhere, a true home in the world, whose very body was a harsh place of exile."
