This collection of three stories interlaces the history of one Aleppo family?the author's own?with the social and political turmoil spanning over a century, reaching from Syria to France to Israel. A master of Hebrew ancient and modern, Sabato has been hailed as Agnon's successor. Philip Simpson's translation from the originally entitled Emet Mi Eretz Titzmach lifts a veil on a lost world. |
