Description

[A] gripping mix of stories and poems interwoven with moments of quiet, affecting beauty This remarkable work rescues an important 20th-century Israeli voice from obscurity. Publishers Weekly

This book represents an anthology of Avigdor Hameiris ten most compelling war stories and poetry. His war stories are unique, and different from his Hebrew writer contemporaries in that they mix the supernatural and macabre with war, pogroms, and antisemitism. These stories and poems reflect like no other the unique complexity of the Jewish soldiers experience of the most vicious and shocking war the world had witnessed to date the battles, the agony, the dilemmas faced by the Jewish soldier, bravery versus cowardice, the notion of imminent death, breaking the sixth commandment (Thou Shalt Not Murder), elements of pacifism (particularly involving camaraderie between the common soldiers on both sides of the battlefield and their shared hatred for rank), and more.
