In the early 1980s, Israels celebrated novelist Amos Oz traveled throughout his country, recording its history as spoken by its inhabitants. First published in English 10 years ago, this timeless, astonishingly relevant work has been updated to include events of the past decade. nAn exemplary instance of a writer using his craft to come to grips with what is happening politically and to illuminate certain aspects of Israeli society that have generally been concealed by polemical formulas. --The New York Times nNotebook in hand, Amos Oz traveled throughout Israel and the West Bank in the early 1980s to talk with workers, soldiers, religious zealots, aging pioneers, new immigrants, desperate Arabs, and visionaries, asking them questions about Israels past, present, and future.

A classic insiders view of a land whose complex past and troubled present make for an uncertain future. n nOzs vignettes . . . wondrously re-create whole worlds with an economy of words. --Philadelphia Inquirern
