To Jerusalem and Back, Paperback / softback Book

To Jerusalem and Back Paperback / softback

Part of the Penguin Modern Classics series

Paperback / softback

Description

In the mid-1970s, Saul Bellow visited Israel and To Jerusalem and Back is his account of his time there.

Immersing himself in its landscape and culture, he records the opinions, passions and dreams of Israelis of varying viewpoints – from Prime Minister Rabin, novelist Amos Oz and the editor of an Arab-language newspaper to a kibbutznik escaped from the Warsaw ghetto and the barber at Bellow’s hotel.

Through meditations steeped in history and literature he adds his own reflections on being Jewish in the twentieth century.

Bellow’s exploration of a beautiful and troubled city is a powerful testament to the unique spirit and challenges of Israel, its history and its future.
