In the mid-1970s, Saul Bellow visited Israel and To Jerusalem and
Back is his account of his time there. Immersing himself in its
landscape and culture, he records the opinions, passions and dreams
of Israelis of varying viewpoints - from Prime Minister Rabin,
novelist Amos Oz and the editor of an Arab-language newspaper to a
kibbutznik escaped from the Warsaw ghetto and the barber at
Bellow's hotel. Through meditations steeped in history and
literature he adds his own reflections on being Jewish in the
twentieth century. Bellow's exploration of a beautiful and troubled
city is a powerful testament to the unique spirit and challenges of
Israel, its history and its future.
