To Jerusalem and Back: A Personal Account (Classic, 20th-Century, Penguin)

Nobel laureate Saul Bellowâ€™s revealing interviews and meditations, steeped in history and literature, on the unique spirit and challenges of Israel

A powerful, stimulating testament, To Jerusalem and Back is a rigorous attempt to come to grips with Israelâ€™s history and future. Immersing himself in the landscape and culture of this â€œsmall state in perpetual crisis,â€ Bellow records the opinions, passions, and dreams of Israelis of varying viewpointsâ€”Yitzak Rabin, Amos Oz, the editor of the largest Arab-language newspaper in Israel, a kibbutznik escaped from the Warsaw Ghettoâ€”and adds his own reflections on being Jewish in the twentieth century. Saul Bellowâ€™s journey is not merely an exploration of a very beautiful and very troubled city; it is a major literary work, and an urgently important one.
