With an approach both personal and symbolic, this volume leads us
through the imagined worlds, delusions, discoveries, questions,
hopes, ambivalences, anxieties, and historical, cultural and
psychological dynamics of six German-Jewish writers and
intellectuals who arrived in Palestine between the 1920s and 1930s.
Hugo Bergmann, Gershom Scholem, Gabriele Tergit, Else
Lasker-Schuler, Arnold Zweig, and Paul Muhsam witnessed the gap
between dream and reality from their own perspectives, representing
it at many levels: intellectual, cultural, historical,
psychological, and literary. As these six figures arrived in
Palestine, this ancient land long imagined by diaspora generations
with life-long nostalgia was new and open to different
interpretations, outcomes, and realities. This book explores the
difficulties and challenges that these figures had to face as they
returned to the land of their fathers, a return shadowed by a
historical, symbolic and metaphysical exile. It tells the story of
a culture suspended and balanced between many worlds- a story of
exile and return that is still unfolding under our eyes today.
