Available in a shorter Hebrew version and a longer Greek one, the book explains the origins of the festival of Purim, depicting a courageous Esther who, by confronting the king, annuls the anti-Semitic plot of Haman. Levenson interacts brilliantly with modern scholarship and older rabbinic traditions.
