An academic review of the topic has it that "In the Hebrew literature of the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, the East exerts a romantic fascination, exemplified by the image of the Arab and the Arab world. The short story "New Year for Trees" (1891) by Ze'ev Yavetz introduces a new type of Hebrew youth. Nachman, shedding the traditional image of the pail and frail Jewish yeshiva boy, symbolized the transition from passivity and resignation in the Diaspora. This was replaced by sabra (native-born) assertiveness. This new Jewish youth emulated the Arab's love of the land and could also confront him in armedbattle" (Ehud Ben-Ezer, "The Arab in Hebrew Fiction"). Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xi [1], 2-180 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.

Softcover. Condition: As New. First Edition. Brand-new, still in shrink-wrap, neither shelf- nor edge-worn, neither sunned nor marked as a remainder. From the publisher's blurb, "Here is the first critique of modern Hebrew literature to examine the vital concept of place through which we learn about some of the pressing concerns and issues of contemporary Israelis. The geographical shift in Jewish existence from west to east, culminating in the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, corresponded to a shift from an existence outside time and space to an existence within space. From that movement arose a dialectical tension between Israel and Europe, home and abroad. While the first generation of Hebrew writers in Israel looked inward to Israel, subsequent Israeli writers began to move their protagonists abroad, especially to Europe. The renewed encounter provoked admiration and attraction as well as hostility and repulsion. Some protagonists escaped to, others from, Europe; for both, Europe is not just a tourist site but a world of difference from Israel. Europe is also presented as a challenge to the culture of the Israeli-born Sabra. It is easier to ask fundamental questions about the nature of the whole Israeli national enterprise when the characters are moved away, to look back from afar. In many contemporary novels, Israeli protagonists go abroad, are displaced, away from the narrow confines of their existence at home. The issue of movement has become linked with that of identity. This book focuses on six novels in which characters leave Israel but then return, manifesting the tension between home and abroad in the dialectics of outside and inside. This allows the authors to use place on a thematic as well as a structural level. Thus, Europe often assumes a metaphoric, or, alternatively, a metonymic function. Places may also be presented by contrasting their analogous descriptions or their social and cultural aspects. Finally, place may be used to analyse the soul, for external place images can reveal the inner reaches of the psyche."Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.

Paperback. Condition: New. This anthology of short stories reflects the wide range of subjects and styles written by Israeli women today. The change in the mainstream Israeli experience in the 1970s has brought about a greater openness in literature, and a plurality of voices including those of women - has emerged. The shift of marginal characters to the centre stage in Israeli fiction, as well as a departure from male-oriented national concerns, has opened the doors to an influx of women writers. These stories, most of which have been specially translated for this anthology, represent the exciting writing emerging from Israel. The form of the short story still holds an important place in the development of Hebrew literature, and this collection reflects not only specific themes such as the Holocaust and the relationship between Arabs and Jews, but also the universal human preoccupations of death, love, betrayal and isolation, all of which transcend the boundaries of regional interests.
