Russian novel

Meir Shalev (b. 1948) is recognized as the most favorite writer in Israel - so showed a survey of ten thousand readers. Critics compare his works with the prose of Pavich and Marquez, and Shalev himself calls his teachers Nabokov and Melville. It was the "Russian novel" that brought the writer to the forefront of Israeli prose and provided him with world fame. It is a tragic and at the same time ironically mocking epic, the story of people who came to Palestine from Russia and turned the swamps and sands of the new homeland into a flourishing land. In a masterfully constructed narrative, tragedy is intertwined with irony, Russian love with bitter Jewish humor, poetic myth with the brutal truth of hard work. The story of the inhabitants of a small valley, reclaimed from nature, contains a huge world of passion and longing, hope and suffering, loyalty and pain. Sophisticated plot, subtle psychology and truly biblical power - this is the "Russian novel" by Meir Shalev.
