Libi Astaire

    Tento autor sa ponára do sveta záhad a židovskej histórie, pričom skúma zložité vzťahy medzi kultúrou a identitou. Jeho diela často osvetľujú menej známe aspekty židovského života a histórie, zasadzujúc ich do pútavých príbehov. Autor sa zameriava na tému španielskych konvertitov a ich moderných potomkov, ale aj na témy ako je židovská komunita v londýnskej regentskej ére. Prostredníctvom svojej novinárskej a spisovateľskej práce približuje čitateľom bohaté dedičstvo a hlboké tradície židovského národa.
