Trade Paperback. Condizione: Near Fine. A Near Fine copy with a touch of shelfwear. Translated from the Hebrew by Peter Cole. 'Playing on Zola's famous letter denouncing the anti-Semitism of the French government throughout the Dreyfus affair, Aharon Shabtai's title can be taken literally: it charges his government and his people with crimes against the humanity of their neighbors. Here we find snipers shooting children, spin-masters trying to whitewash blood baths, ammunition 'distributed like bars of chocolate,' and 'technicians of slaughter' for whom morality is merely 'a pain in the ass.' With a splendid lyrical physicality that accentuates Shabtai's terse immediacy and matter-of-fact scorn, the poems cover a period of six yearsfrom the 1996 election of Netanyahu as prime minister through the curfews, lynchings, riots, sieges, and bombings of the second intifada. But at the heart of J'Accuse is the fate of the ethical Hebrew culture in which the poet was raised: Shabtai refuses to abandon his belief in the moral underpinnings of Israeli society or to be silent before the barbaric and brutal. He witnesses, he protests, he warns. Above all, he holds up a mirror to his nation.' -- publisher.

VERY GOOD CONDITION,CLEAN, SOLID, BRIGHT ; Old stone streets cover photo. ; 352 pages; Six Israeli Novellas offers work by six of Israel's most important contemporary authors. Included are Aharon Appelfeld's "In the Isles of St. George," in which a fugitive black marketeer - a modern reincarnation of the eternal Wandering Jew - is forced to take refuge on a desolate Italian island, where his past, his Jewishness, and his very sense of identity are resolved. In "Yani on the Mountain," David Grossman explores the psychological impact of the 1973 Yom Kippur War on a young generation of Israelis against the backdrop of a Mount Sinai army base in its final days before demolition. Ruth Almog's "Shrinking" lyrically portrays the loneliness and frustrations of a middle-aged heroine whose longing for true human contact is thwarted by her stifling bond to her aged father.

PAPERBACK, very good, slightest wear. SHABTAI, AHARON. Love & selected poems. Translated from the Hebrew by Peter Cole. Riverdale-on-Hudson, New York: The Sheep Meadow Press, 1997, xxii, 221pp., . "In his fusions of the sensual and the spiritual, the ordinary and the exalted, the sexual in the suffering psyche and the intelligent conciousness searching and spinning through history, myth and layers of language, Shabtai is one of the most exciting poets writing anywhere, and certainly the most audacious" (C.K. Williams). These poems, written between 1966 and 1995, juxtapose the personal with the universal and the everyday with the mythical in terse, expert observations: "I'll ready the offering: /myself/(I don't want myself except/to offer myself)//my blood is my fate/and my fate the deep//music of your voice" ("Love"). The result is a sacred and erotic poetry greater than the sum of its parts, one that "can be placed in a line that stretches from Biblical and Greek origins, to Catullus to Joyce to Jean Genet and other masters of language, revelry, and revelation" (Stanley Moss). 9781878818782 ISBN 1878818783.

The dust jacket is in very good condition in clean library brodaart cover with three stickers on back and lower spine. Really a nice clean copy for an ex lib. Aharon Shabtai, now in his late fifties, is the most important Israeli poet of his generation. Translated freely, this means he is among the world's leading poets. His poetry is of epic range: personal and historical, full of hard-won knowledge and the sexual dramas the Greeks allowed their gods and themselves. Shabtai can be placed in a line that stretches from Biblical and Greek origins to Catullus to Joyce to Jean Genet and other masters of language, revelry, and revelation. This is his first book to be published in English. Translated by Peter Cole. In his fusions of the sensual and the spiritual, the ordinary and the exalted, the sexual in the suffering psyche and the intelligent consciousness searching and spinning through history, myth and layers of language, Shabtai is one of the most exciting poets writing anywhere, and certainly the most audacious-C.K.
