In the third year of World War I, the seed was planted for an inevitable clash: Jerusalem Governor Izzat Pasha surrendered to British troops and Foreign Secretary Lord Balfour issued a fateful document sympathizing with the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people. The chronicle takes us through the Arab rebellion of the 1930s; the long shadow of the Nazi Holocaust; the war of 1948--culminating in Israel's independence and the Palestinian Nakba (catastrophe); the cursed victory of the Six-Day War of 1967 and the Palestinian re-awakening; the first and second Intifadas; the Oslo Accords; and other failed peace negotiations and continued violence up to 2017. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Combining engaging narrative with historical and political analysis and cultural insights, \u003ci\u003eEnemies and Neighbors\u003c\/i\u003e is both an accessible overview and a fascinating investigation into the deeper truths of a history that continues to dominate Middle Eastern politics and diplomacy--one which has preserved Palestinians and Israelis as unequal enemies and neighbors, their conflict unresolved as prospects for a two-state solution have all but disappeared.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50055147880721,"sku":"DVDB00MEQUNIWVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53415443300625,"sku":"CINB00MEQUNIWG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53423218229521,"sku":"CINB00MEQUNIWVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B00MEQUNIW.jpg?v=1751035054"},{"product_id":"medium-the-fifth-season-dvd-0097361433141","title":"Medium: The Fifth Season","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51309582811409,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51309584482577,"sku":"DVDB001G0MFM4VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53426947457297,"sku":"CINB001G0MFM4G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B001G0MFM4.jpg?v=1751067431"},{"product_id":"medium-the-third-season-dvd-0097361226347","title":"Medium: The Third Season","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53372488843537,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53372489203985,"sku":"CINB000SQFC1SVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0097361226347.jpg?v=1775172533"},{"product_id":"medium-the-complete-first-season-dvd-0097360708943","title":"Medium: The Complete First Season","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53421384761617,"sku":"CINB000EWBNMSG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/097360708943.jpg?v=1776376326"},{"product_id":"elmo-s-learning-adventures-dvd-0854392002629","title":"Elmo's Learning Adventures","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53421997130001,"sku":"CINB006WZIE32G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/854392002629.jpg?v=1776378414"},{"product_id":"true-romance-dvd-0043396544932","title":"True Romance","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53424127738129,"sku":"CINB07G1Z4JVBG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0043396544932.jpg?v=1776386362"},{"product_id":"true-romance-dvd-0043396509528","title":"True Romance","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53427262030097,"sku":"CINB06XWXJWXHG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0043396509528.jpg?v=1776398322"},{"product_id":"boyhood-dvd-0715515187718","title":"Boyhood","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBoyhood\u003c\/i\u003e (1854) is a novel by Leo Tolstoy. Published at the beginning of his career as a leading Russian author of his generation, \u003ci\u003eBoyhood\u003c\/i\u003e is the second in a trilogy of semi-autobiographical novels tracing Nikolenka's journey from innocence to experience. As a record of the past, a nostalgic reminder of a lost world, Boyhood is one of Tolstoy's most personal works, and yet his prose shows signs of the universal religious and philosophical themes that would inspire such masterpieces as \u003ci\u003eWar and Peace\u003c\/i\u003e (1869) and \u003ci\u003eAnna Karenina\u003c\/i\u003e (1877). A story of life and death, love and grief, \u003ci\u003eBoyhood\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable treasure of Russian literature. No longer were my eyes confronted with the closed door of Mamma's room (which I had never been able to pass without a pang), nor with the covered piano (which nobody opened now, and at which I could never look without trembling), nor with mourning dresses (we had each of us on our ordinary travelling clothes), nor with all those other objects which recalled to me so vividly our irreparable loss, and forced me to abstain from any manifestation of merriment lest I should unwittingly offend against her memory. Following the death of his beloved mother, Nikolenka is forced to adjust to a world grown unbearably cold. As though the grief were not enough, he must also overcome his own feelings of loneliness and uncertainty, as well as his hatred of his new French tutor. As his story unfolds, we see him experience love, grief, and anger for the first time in his life, returning us for a brief moment to our own childhoods, the bittersweet memories of good and bad things that can never return. Praised for its expressionistic style and meditative prose, \u003ci\u003eBoyhood\u003c\/i\u003e won Tolstoy the attention of Russia's literary elite, launching his career as one of the nineteenth century's most influential artists. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Leo Tolstoy's \u003ci\u003eBoyhood\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic work of Russian literature reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53469164929297,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53469165256977,"sku":"CINB01IPDBDNGG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/715515187718.jpg?v=1777291273"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-patricia-arquette.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
