ISBN: 0226233367 ISBN-13: 9780226233369 Publisher: University of Chicago Press OUR PRICE: $32.67 Product Type: Paperback Published: March 1982 Annotation: The creative literature that evolved from the Holocaust constitutes an unprecedented encounter between art and life. Those who wrote about the Holocaust were forced to extend the limits of their imaginations to encompass unspeakably violent extremes of human behavior. The result, as Ezrahi shows in "By Words Alone", is a body of literature that transcends national and cultural boundaries and shares a spectrum of attitudes toward the concentration camps and the world beyond, toward the past and the future. |
