About My Books
I am a London based author who writes best selling, popular books about Jewish people, texts and ideas. My books include Leonard Cohen: The Mystical Roots of Genius; a journey into the religious imagination of the most learned and spiritual songwriter of our age; The Talmud: A Biography and a history of Kabbalah. My next book, due out in early 2024 is Shylock’s Venice, the remarkable story of the Venice Ghetto. My previous book Britain’s Jews looks at what it is like to be Jewish in 21st century Britain.
You can read about all my books on my personal website www.harryfreedmanbooks.com or on that of my publisher Bloomsbury.
