Описание книги

She's more than 3,000 years old. Her grandfather was the patriarch Jacob. She's mentioned by name three times in the Hebrew Bible, but there are no stories told about her. She knew Moses and David, Spinoza and Einstein–and now, at long last, Serach bat Asher has written her autobiography.
"I was born in a tent," Serach tells us, a woman long silenced by history. She is feisty, funny, and bitter. The stories she tells about what really happened to her and her family will make you laugh and cry and maybe even rage against her, the oldest woman in the world, now living two blocks from the beach in Los Angeles.

The Complete, Uncensored, Heartbreaking, and Amazing Autobiography of Serach bat Asher, the Oldest Woman in the World

As for your third question—I really don’t know why I’ve lived this long. My best guess is that I’m some kind of genetic anomaly. Given all the generations of human history, why couldn’t there have been a slight mutation in the genes of a few scattered individuals, a mutation that allows our cells to keep replicating long long after we should have died? (Not that I or anyone knew about genetics until very recently.) Before I did, my preferred theory about my life was a mystical one, a tale that you may have already heard, as it’s one of the very few stories about me that has been preserved.

When I was still a young girl there was a famine in Canaan. My grandfather Jacob sent two of my uncles down to Egypt to buy grain and other supplies. While they were there they found out that their brother Joseph was not just dead, as they’d long believed, but in a position of importance. You may remember the story from reading the Bible, although what you read there wasn’t exactly what happened.
