Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 500 g; to 32 pages, in original hardcover binding with original photographic illustrated dust jacket.

The debut work is set in an Israel of many moods, and Israel shaped by its heritage, its history, and, above all its inhabitants, Jew and Arab, all gathered together not so much in a melting pot as in a stew concocted of intractable, discordant elements. -- rear panel blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
