En 1993 Rabin y Arafat firmaron los Acuerdos de Oslo, sellando una promesa de paz entre árabes e israelíes. Los diez años que han transcurrido desde entonces se inaguraron con una esperanza y un optimismo que no tardaron en transformarse en venganza y violencia. El presente volumen reune los articulos que sobre este conflicto ha publicado David Grossman en la prensa europea y norteamericana hasta el dia de hoy.

Si puo essere vecchi a 12 anni? La madre di David pensa di si, visto che suo figlio non ama la compagnia dei coetanei, preferisce leggere piuttosto che andare alle feste e si e scelto per amico il signor Rosenthal, anziano ospite di una casa di riposo. Ma David e solo un ragazzo riflessivo e sensibile che esplora un universo pieno di sorprese: quello del passato, perduto per sempre e per sempre vivo nel cuore, nella mente e nelle azioni degli uomini. Non e forse l'invincibile forza del passato a mettere uno contro l'altro il signor Rosenthal e il signor Schwartz, che a 70 anni si sfidano a duello in nome di un antico amore? Eta di lettura: da 11 anni

David Grossman, da sempre convinto sostenitore di una coesistenza tra Israele e Palestina, non si e mai sottratto dal commentare e analizzare la complessa relazione tra i due popoli. Questo libro raccoglie alcuni degli interventi piu urgenti e militanti, in cui Grossman analizza la parabola politica di Israele, guardando con occhio critico alle azioni del governo e della classe dirigente del suo Paese: un Paese che gli appare oggi piu vulnerabile che mai, per colpa delle correnti estremiste e della decadenza di quei valori democratici che lo rendevano uno stato davvero ebraico. Grossman riflette sulle dinamiche che alimentano il circolo vizioso della violenza, fino ai tragici eventi del 7 ottobre 2023, nuova miccia di un conflitto mai sopito e che sembra destinato a non avere fine. Ma continua anche a professare la sua speranza per un futuro di pace, in cui tutti possano sentirsi protetti e rappresentati equamente, "e coltivare la storia e le tradizioni della propria comunita senza cancellare quelle degli altri".

An epic, deeply moving novel about the power of love and loving with courage - from the Man Booker International Prize-winning author of A Horse Walks into a BarOn a kibbutz in Israel in 2008, Gili is celebrating the ninetieth birthday of her grandmother Vera, the adored matriarch of a sprawling and tight-knit family. But festivities are interrupted by the arrival of Nina: the iron-willed daughter who rejected Vera's care; and the absent mother who abandoned Gili when she was still a baby.Nina's return to the family after years of silence precipitates an epic journey from Israel to the desolate island of Goli Otok, formerly part of Yugoslavia. It was here, five decades earlier, that Vera was held and tortured as a political prisoner. And it is here that the three women will finally come to terms with the terrible moral dilemma that Vera faced, and that permanently altered the course of their lives.More Than I Love My Life is a sweeping story about the power of love and loving with courage. A novel driven by faith in humanity even in our darkest moments, it asks us to confront our deepest held beliefs about a woman's duty to herself and to her children.

The setting is a comedy club in a small Israeli town. An audience that has come expecting an evening of amusement instead sees a comedian falling apart on stage; an act of disintegration, a man crumbling, as a matter of choice, before their eyes. They could get up and leave, or boo and whistle and drive him from the stage, if they were not so drawn to glimpse his personal hell. Dovale Gee, a veteran stand-up comic - charming, erratic, repellent - exposes a wound he has been living with for years: a fateful and gruesome choice he had to make between the two people who were dearest to him. A Horse Walks into a Bar is a shocking and breathtaking read. Betrayals between lovers, the treachery of friends, guilt demanding redress. Flaying alive both himself and the people watching him, Dovale Gee provokes both revulsion and empathy from an audience that doesn't know whether to laugh or cry - and all this in the presence of a former childhood friend who is trying to understand why he's been summoned to this performance.
