The Shadow of Death: Letters in Flames is an analytical study of
eight major Jewish and Israeli writers who wrote about the
experience of the Shoah (Holocaust). The book is divided into two
main sections. The first section "The Holocaust Experience from
Within" analyzes literary works by the writers Aharon Appelfeld,
Elie Wiesel, Primo Levi, Ka-tzetnik, and Jerzy Kosinski - who
experienced the Holocaust firsthand. The second section is devoted
to "After the Holocaust - Experience from Without," concentrating
mainly on the literary analysis of works by writers who responded
to the Holocaust after the event. They are the Israeli writers
Hanoch Bartov, Hayim Gouri, and Yehuda Amichai. The book is
literary oriented with a prominent focus on textual and literary
analysis of major examples of Holocaust literature. It purports to
examine the texts under study and analyze them by pointing out
literary devices that indicate the writers' perception of the
Holocaust and their attempt to convey the meaning and significance
of the Holocaust to the modern reader.
