A novel-memoir, the most personal book by a classic of Israeli literature. A family saga and self-portrait of a writer who witnessed the birth of a nation and the tumultuous post-war era. It is the story of growing up as a boy who grew up in war-torn Jerusalem, in a small apartment filled with books in twelve languages, and surrounded by twelve relatives. This is the story of a teenager whose life
changed forever by the death of his mother. It is the story of a young man who manages to escape the suffocating world of his family, to enter an unknown new world, to change his name. It is the story of a famous writer who becomes an active participant in the political life of his country. A very warm book, where there are both humorous plots and very serious arguments about good and evil, about the place of man in the new, emerging world, about family, parents, about war, about confrontation with the people-neighbor. Amos Oz, now a famous writer, looks back at his childhood, where there was more misery and hardship than joy, and sees only warmth and love.
