London England, Collins, 1980. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Fine/Very Good/fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0002116383 Hardback This book is an oral portrait of a nation: Israel. In it the author brings the novelist's eye to bear on fifteen stories, fifteen people from fifteen backgrounds, whose hopes and fears and determination to settle in an ancient land he sets against the most crucial and divisive struggle of our time.The issues raised in this book are so diverse, so pertinent, so richly sad that we begin at last to understand a people whose fate touches us all. They are also the issues which may well be the key to much that takes place in the troubled land of Israel in the years to come. Very slight shelf wear to D/J.
