"Journey to Israel" is a vivid and controversial account by Jalal Ale-Ahmad (1923–1969) of his trip to the young Israeli state in 1963. More than a mere travelogue, it is a profound and provocative reflection on identity, modernization, and the political complexities of the Middle East. One of Iran's most influential intellectuals of the 20th century, Ale-Ahmad sees Israel as simultaneously close and distant, familiar and alien, a source of inspiration and a source of irritation. Ale-Ahmad's book remains an important testimony to the early Iranian view of Israel—a view in which wonder coexists with wariness long before relations between the two countries turned hostile. However, the text is valuable not so much as a source of knowledge about Israel itself, but as a reflection of the internal crisis of the Iranian intelligentsia in the 1960s and the search for a way out of it.
