Articoli correlati a Israel is Real
There are many books about Israel, but none like this. From Rich Cohen, the author of the acclaimed "Tough Jews", "The Avengers", and "Sweet and Low", comes a new approach to a story we thought we knew. Breaking through the heated polemics and intractable politics, "Israel Is Real" is a fresh voice, a tale of people and ideas, of the background of present-day Israel. Cohen relates Israel's story as that of a place long ago destroyed and transformed into an idea...and which, sixty years ago, was retransformed into a place, and therefore into something that can once again be destroyed. From the medieval false prophets, to the nineteenth-century Zionists, and on to present-day figures like Ariel Sharon, Cohen tells the stories of the people obsessed with this fine line between place and idea, creation and destruction. He reclaims from obscurity a multitude of figures marginalized by history, but whose lives are key to any real understanding of Israel. Unlike dozens of books about Israel published each year, "Israel Is Real" won't be irrelevant a month after it comes out. Indeed, it promises to be an instant classic: a rich, strange, moving masterpiece and Cohen's most memorable book yet.
