Book Description
In 1929 French journalist Albert Londres (Inspiration for the cartoon character Tintin) set out to document the lives of Jews. In the East End of London, he is moved by their unswerving faith. In eastern Europe he is astounded by their miserable plight. With gentle humor and a sharp eye he draws unforgettable portraits of the exotic individuals he encounters along the way. He vividly depicts the birth of Zionism and the wave of anti-semitic pogroms that propelled Jewish Immigration to Palestine. There he discovers the proud "new Jew" while his on-site reporting of the horrific Arab massacres of the Jews of Hebron and Safed exposes an age-old animosity still very much alive today. Presciently, Londres foresees that the Jews, despite their small numbers, will pay the Arabs 'back in kind' and ultimately regain their homeland. This literary masterpiece transports readers back to a pivotal moment in history and offers invaluable insights on Jewish life in the early twentieth century, on the formative years that preceded the State of Israel, and on the strife that has engulfed the region ever since. The Wandering Jew Has Arrived is as relevant today as when first penned. Book jacket.

The Lions' Den
Author: Susie Linfield
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 030022298X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
A lively intellectual history that explores how prominent midcentury public intellectuals approached Zionism and then the State of Israel itself and its conflicts with the Arab world In this lively intellectual history of the political Left, cultural critic Susie Linfield investigates how eight prominent twentieth-century intellectuals struggled with the philosophy of Zionism, and then with Israel and its conflicts with the Arab world. Constructed as a series of interrelated portraits that combine the personal and the political, the book includes philosophers, historians, journalists, and activists such as Hannah Arendt, Arthur Koestler, I. F. Stone, and Noam Chomsky. In their engagement with Zionism, these influential thinkers also wrestled with the twentieth century's most crucial political dilemmas: socialism, nationalism, democracy, colonialism, terrorism, and anti-Semitism. In other words, in probing Zionism, they confronted the very nature of modernity and the often catastrophic histories of our time. By examining these leftist intellectuals, Linfield also seeks to understand how the contemporary Left has become focused on anti-Zionism and how Israel itself has moved rightward.
