Summary
Translated from the Hebrew, a novel by an Israeli author acclaimed for his psychologically illuminating, diamond-sharp style traces the inner world of a Jewish man devastated by his wife's death and the recent ravages of World War II.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Set in 1940's Palestine, Bernhard concerns a German-Jewish widower.
Devastated by the loss of his wife, Bernhard disconsolately walks the streets of Jerusalem, considering Gandhi, analysis, the beauty of his wife Paula's neck, his Arab neighbors, Kokoschka, the Messiah, and the inner life of his friend Gustav the plumber. As his hero tries to come to terms with his grief and the disasters of WWII, Hoffmann shows the slow remaking of an inner world.Editions
