Growing up with Israel by Chaim Klein
His parents left Slovakia for Israel in 1949. They lived in a moshav where Hungarian was the language. Housing was spartan conditions rough - a thin strip of land, one cow, a lone tree. School was primitive, fun what children could make for themselves between study and agricultural work. Locusts, water shortages and fedayeen came; military service, university. He meets a girl from the diaspora, marries, has children, travels, works. This is a tale of an individual growing up at the same time as his country, told from the inside, without polemic or artifice. Past disaster and future hopes frame a figure in a landscape. The self-portrait is etched with simplicity and a fine eye for salient detail.CHAIM KLEIN is married to the journalist and author Emma Klein, n e Solomon, and lives mainly in London. They have two sons and two grandsons. English is his third working language. This is his first book.| SKU | Unavailable |
