Return: The Spiritual Odyssey of a Soviet Scientist

by Herman Branover

Celebrating it thirtieth anniversary, the SHAMIR Publishing House has reprinted the popular autobiography of its editor-in-chief and honorary president, Professor Herman Branover. Leader of the cultural revival of Russian-speaking Jews and world pioneer in magnetohydrodynamics, Branover's life story of how as a young atheist top scientist in Stalinist USSR he discovered and fought for his Jewish identity is particularly relevant reading for Jews in 2002. His story is a personal victory over anti-Semitism and Israel-bashing. RETURN is an inspiring affirmation of faith that has changed people's lives. SHAMIR's enlarged edition contains 32 pages of photographs and philosophic essays.
