The Key from Cordoba is a novel inspired by A.H. Behrend’s Some Actual Information on the Life of Agent Israel Joachim Behrend (1915), a small book that Flemming Oppenhagen Behrend found many years ago at the Royal Library in Copenhagen.
The novel tells the story of Joachim, an Iberian Jew who arrived in Copenhagen in 1783. He was sent to Denmark by his mother for an arranged marriage to a young Jewish woman. The story follows him through his development and his marriages, until he becomes a wealthy businessman with connections to the royal family.
The story is also about the conditions of the Jews at the end of the 1800s, as well as about the Jewish riots in the capital in 1820, which eventually contributed to Joachim’s death. Flemming Oppenhagen Behrend grew up in Frederiksberg, Denmark. He has lived in the United States since 1980. He graduated in 2016 from the Assisi Institute, focusing on Jungian dream analysis and archetypal pattern studies. He lives in Olympia, WA, with his wife Silvia Ruth Behrend.
