Home to Stay
One American Family's Chronicle of Miracles and Struggles in Contemporary Israel
Daniel Gordis
Paperback | Engels
€ 28,45
Omschrijving
A firsthand, personal view of a family on the front lines of war in Israel, now revised and updated (previously published as If a Place Can Make You Cry).
"An outstanding work . . . powerfully and movingly written."--Jerusalem Post WINNER OF THE "BOOKS FOR A BETTER LIFE" AWARD In the summer of 1998, Daniel Gordis and his family moved to Israel from Los Angeles. They planned to be there for a year, but a few months into their stay, Daniel and his wife decided to remain in Jerusalem permanently, confident that their children would be among the first generation of Israelis to grow up in peace. Immediately after arriving in Israel, Daniel had started sending out e-mails about his life to friends and family abroad. These missives--passionate, thoughtful, beautifully written, and informative--began reaching a much broader readership than he'd ever envisioned, eventually being excerpted in The New York Times Magazine to much acclaim. An edited and finely crafted collection of Daniel's original e-mails, Home to Stay is a first-person, immediate account of Israel's post-Oslo meltdown that cuts through the rhetoric and stridency of most dispatches from that country or from the international media. Above all, Home to Stay tells the story of a family that must cope with the sudden realization that they took their children from a serene and secure neighborhood in Los Angeles to an Israel not at peace but mired in war. This is the chronicle of a loss of innocence--the innocence of Daniel and his wife, and of their children. Ultimately, through Daniel's eyes, Israel, with all its beauty, madness, violence, and history, comes to life in a way we've never quite seen before.
