Ámosz Oz - Szeretetről sötétségről

The autobiographical work of Amos Oz, the best-known Israeli writer, About Love, Darkness, which has been translated into many languages, is the greatest Israeli book success of all time. A captivating family story, which masterfully combines personal and historical events in the framework of a large-scale narrative abounding in Dickensian characters. Oz's family is an archetypal immigrant family: the Mussmans flee Ukraine due to anti-Semitism, first to Poland, then to Prague, and finally to Jerusalem, where the sensitive, intelligent Fanja, who speaks four or five languages, marries Klausner, a two-left-handed chamber scholar blessed with a poetic vein, who reads sixteen or seventeen languages . Their son, Amosz, grows up in the Jerusalem of the forties and fifties. In January 1952, Fanja Mussman, the writer's depressed mother, committed suicide. Oz then breaks up with his right-wing father, goes to a kibbutz as a tractor driver at the age of fifteen (there he takes the name Oz, which means courage), and tries to find and forge his own identity as a kibbutz for thirty years. At the same time, the book is also the history of the State of Israel, the history of the entire era, of the Jews who grew up with Oz, who as survivors ended up on a "deserted island" and built a home for themselves.
