In The Land Of Israel (Harvest in Translation) by Amos Oz

In the Land of Israel

“An exemplary instance of a writer using his craft to come to grips with what is happening politically and to illuminate certain aspects of Israeli society that have generally been concealed by polemical formulas.” —The New York Times

In the early 1980s, Amos Oz traveled Israel and the West Bank, interviewing workers, soldiers, zealots, pioneers, immigrants, Arabs, and visionaries. Their voices, combined with Oz’s insights, reveal Israel’s complex past, troubled present, and uncertain future.

“Oz’s vignettes . . . wondrously re-create whole worlds with an economy of words.” —Philadelphia Inquirer
