«Une histoire du peuple juif» is the historical essay by Chaïm Potok, published by Pocket in paperback (608 pages, in French).
The book covers five millennia of Jewish history, from the biblical patriarchs to the contemporary era, confronting historical and archaeological sources with the Bible. Potok combines the account of communities and figures such as Rashi or Sabbetai Zevi with reflections on exile, faith, martyrdom and fidelity to God.
The work was originally published in English as «Wanderings: Chaim Potok's History of the Jews» in 1978; this French edition belongs to the Agora collection.
A suitable read for those seeking an overview of Jewish history from a narrative and reflective perspective.
