Tragic, comic, and utterly honest, this extraordinary memoir is at once a great family saga and a magical self-portrait of a writer who witnessed the birth of a nation and lived through its turbulent history. It is the story of a boy growing up in the war-torn Jerusalem of the forties and fifties in a small apartment crowded with books in twelve languages and relatives speaking nearly as many. His mother and father, both wonderful people, were ill-suited to each other. When Oz was twelve and a half years old, his mother committed suicide-a tragedy that was to change his life. He leaves the constraints of the family and the community of dreamers, scholars, and failed businessmen to join a kibbutz, changes his name, marries, has children, and finally becomes a writer as well as an active participant in the political life of Israel. A story of clashing cultures and lives, of suffering and perseverance, of love and darkness.… (altro)
Polaris-: Both books cover different aspects of experiencing the lengthy siege of Jerusalem during the Israeli War of Independence. One of a child experiencing the siege, the other of a frontline soldier attempting to break it.
E’ un libro triste e pieno di affetti . E’ una autobiografia che mescola tante storie : quella dello scrittore e quella dei suoi genitori, le vicende delle famiglie materna e paterna nell’ arco di un secolo e la nascita di una Nazione, in un continuo oscillare fra passato e presente. Baricentro di tutto il racconto e’ il suicidio della madre avvenuto quando Amos Oz aveva 12 anni. Dopo un inizio un po’ faticoso, si divora; e’ una storia molto coinvolgente narrata con un linguaggio prezioso ed evocativo – alcune descrizioni sia di oggetti (stanze, cortili, verdure, libri) che di persone (i genitori, le maestre, i vicini) sono cosi vivide e seducenti che si leggono e rileggono.

My mother fell asleep and this time she slept with no nightmares, she had no insomnia, in the early hours she threw up and fell asleep again, still fully dressed, and because Tsvi and Hayta were beginning to suspect something they sent for an ambulance a little before sunrise and two stretcher-bearers carried her carefully, so as not to disturb her sleep, and at the hospital she would not listen to them either and although they tried various means to disturb her good sleep she paid no attention to them, or to the specialist from whom she had heard that the psyche is the worst enemy of the body, and she did not wake up in the morning either, or even when the day grew brighter, and from the branches of the ficus tree in the garden of the hospital the bird Elise called to her in wonderment and called to her again and again in vain and yet it went on trying over and over again and it still tries sometimes.
