Histoires d’Israël
William Karel, Blanche Finger
70 years after the foundation of the state of Israel, 10 iconic Israeli authors, including David Grossman, Amos Oz, and Zeruya Shalev, draw up the state of things in their country: its values, its fears, its contradictions. These men and women of letters draw their inspiration from the ever-permanent climate of tension in which they live. Their works echo the problems that were met by their country when it was founded 70 years ago, including the weight of the past, the Zionist project, Palestinians, religion, the army, social tensions, and territorial divisions. An original and subjective portrait of Israel, where literature leads to geopolitical understanding.
