Along the way he has written major stories for American outlets, including a remarkable \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Magazine \u003c\/i\u003ecover story. Now comes the powerful new work that has always been his ultimate goal, \u003ci\u003eThe Way to the Spring\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e We are familiar with brave journalists who travel to bleak or war-torn places on a mission to listen and understand, to gather the stories of people suffering from extremes of oppression and want: Katherine Boo, Ryszard Kapuściński, Ted Conover, and Philip Gourevitch among them. Palestine is, by any measure, whatever one's politics, one such place. Ruled by the Israeli military, set upon and harassed constantly by Israeli settlers who admit unapologetically to wanting to drive them from the land, forced to negotiate an ever more elaborate and more suffocating series of fences, checkpoints, and barriers that have sundered home from field, home from home, this is a population whose living conditions are unique, and indeed hard to imagine. In a great act of bravery, empathy and understanding, Ben Ehrenreich, by placing us in the footsteps of ordinary Palestinians and telling their story with surpassing literary power and grace, makes it impossible for us to turn away.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49856531136785,"sku":"CIN0143110578G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50634250584337,"sku":"CIN0143110578VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50999467344145,"sku":"NIN9780143110576","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0143110578.jpg?v=1751163604","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/way-to-the-spring-book-ben-ehrenreich-9780143110576","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
