Based on the memoirs of Ra???l--better known in 1950s Argentina as the wrestler "The Man Mountain"--and on a trove of his family's historical documents, this fascinating historiography relates Ra???l's journey from his native Romania to Palestine, Israel, postwar France, and finally to Argentina, and introduces a large cast of family members and friends. More than simply a scrapbook of the life of one particular European Jewish family, however, Enciclopedia B-S is the story of the diaspora of millions of Jews during the 20th century and an examination of the political, cultural, and militaristic upheavals that caused it. Bas???ndose en las memorias de Ra???l--conocido en la Argentina de los a???os 50 como el luchador "Hombre Monta???a"--y en sus archivos familiares, esta fascinante historiograf???a relata su viaje desde su Rumania natal hasta Argentina, pasando por Palestina, Israel y Francia de la posguerra, y presenta a un reparto de familiares y amigos. M???s que un simple ???lbum de recortes de la vida de una familia jud???a europea particular, sin embargo, Enciclopedia B-S es la historia de la di???spora de millones de jud???os durante el siglo XX y un examen de los trastornos pol???ticos, culturales y militares que fueron su causa.
