Gershon Shaked's history of modern Hebrew fiction traces the
emergence and development of a literature "against all odds" - from
its European roots in the 1880s, when it had neither a country nor
a spoken language, to the flowering of a literary culture on
Israeli soil from the founding of the State through the 1990s. The
product of more than twenty years of research, it is unique in its
scope, profiling four generations of Hebrew writers from I.L.
Peretz and Haim Nahman Bialik through SY Agnon, Aharon Appelfeld,
Amos Oz and AB Yehoshua, to the recent writings of David Grossman,
Meir Shalev, and Orly Castel-Bloom.Through detailed discussions of
themes and styles in specific texts, Shaked conveys the richness of
the Hebrew literary tradition. At the same time, through
biographical surveys, historical observations, and sociocultural
and political analyses, he illuminates the relationship of these
writings to the context in which they were produced, revealing the
complex intertextual play between Hebrew literature and life.
