Beschreibung

'Luminous' Ian McEwan
'Astonishing' Economist
'Mesmerising and prophetic' Arifa Akbar, Independent

It's 1948 and the villagers of Khirbet Khizeh are about to be violently expelled from their homes. A young Israeli soldier who is on duty that day finds himself battling on two fronts: with the villagers and, ultimately, with his own conscience.

Haunting and heartbreaking, Khirbet Khizeh, now considered a modern Hebrew masterpiece, offers a wrenchingly honest view of one of Israel's defining moments.

'So incendiary and eloquent that one has to put it down every few pages... How often can you say of a harrowing, unquiet book that it makes you wrestle with your soul?' The Times

Über den Autor

S. Yizhar was the pen-name of Yizhar Smilansky, born in Rehovot, Palestine, in 1916. A long-time member of Knesset for the Mapai (Labor) Party, he is perhaps most famous as the author of Khirbet Khizeh and for his magnum opus, Days of Tziklag, about the 1948 war. After winning the Israel Prize in 1959, he taught education at the Hebrew University for many years and lapsed into literary silence until 1992, when he published the first of a trilogy of autobiographical novels, Preliminaries. He died in 2006.
