false <![CDATA[Khirbet Khizeh]]> 2589649 1 Translated from the Hebrew by Nicholas de Lange and Yaacob Dweck. Afterword by David Shulman. This classic 1949 novella about the violent expulsion of Palestinian villagers by the Israeli army has long been considered a high point in Hebrew literature, as it has also given rise to fierce controversy over the years. Published just months after the end of the 1948 war (in which the author fought) the book--as famous for Yizhar's haunting, lyrical style as for its wrenchingly honest soldier's-eye view of the brutality of that war and, perhaps, all wars--has never before been translated into English. De Lange and Dweck's rendering captures with force Yizhar's unflinching portrait of Israel's primal scene. An absolute must for anyone interested in Middle Eastern literature and history. 2608886 21 4 2008 Khirbet Khizeh total:17|5:7|4:8|3:2|2:0|1:0| 17 73 40 7 5 3 false false Tue Jul 08 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 08 17:27:02 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 08 17:44:53 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Thu Oct 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 18 11:05:36 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 30 05:38:06 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon Aug 25 20:48:08 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 25 20:55:22 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Mar 25 09:41:02 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 09:41:02 -0700 2009 London Review: This became a set book in Israeli 2e schools in 1964 and was made into a TV play in the late 1970s. Deals with the 1948 cleansing of rural Arab Palestine as Y. experienced it; goes to the heart of the Zionist-Palest. conflict and has given rise to great unease.
