Bücher von Amos Oz

Introduces us to an extraordinary masterpiece of Hebrew literature S Y Agnon's "Only Yesterday". This collection includes an essay on the essence of his ideology and poetics.

The author grew up in war-torn Jerusalem, where as a boy he witnessed first-hand the poisonous consequences of fanaticism. In this book, he brings us face to face with fanaticism he suggests ways in which we can all respond.

Offers insights into the true nature of fanaticism and proposes an approach to resolve the Israeli Palestinian conflict. This book comments on contemporary issues - the Gaza pullout, Yasser Arafat's death, and the war in Iraq. It argues that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not a war of religion or cultures or traditions.

This collection - published here in English for the first time - brings together a number of political, personal and literary pieces by Israel's most celebrated living novelist. Their refreshing blend of scepticism and idealism will attract new readers while delighting those already familiar with Oz's writings.
