Illustrierte Klassiker #210

Illustrierte Klassiker Nr. 210 brings Heinrich Graetz's telling of "Die Makkabäer" to life in this German-language adaptation from BSV Hannover's celebrated world-literature series. The cover by Rafael López Espí puts you right in the thick of ancient combat — a helmeted warrior in yellow robes swings a fearsome mace overhead while a fallen foe clutches a round shield amid the chaos of battle, dust and debris swirling around them. It's a vivid, kinetic image that captures the fierce determination at the heart of the Maccabees' legendary struggle.
