To Jerusalem and back: a personal account [Paperback] Saul Bellow

Description

Paperback cover has some wear. Pages are clean and the binding is secure.

This well-traveled copy of Saul Bellow’s “To Jerusalem and Back” bears the marks of its journeys, much like the author himself during his 1975 visit to Israel that inspired the book. A Nobel Laureate renowned for his vivid prose and penetrating insights into the human condition, Bellow brings his observant eye and philosophical musings to this travelogue of a deeply personal and politically turbulent trip.

As he wanders the streets of Jerusalem and engages with its diverse inhabitants, Bellow offers a nuanced portrayal of the city’s complexities and contradictions, its ancient roots and modern tensions. His ruminations on identity, displacement, and the weight of history resonate profoundly, a testament to his ability to find universality in the particular. This well-preserved paperback edition, with its creased cover and sturdy binding, invites readers to trace Bellow’s footsteps and immerse themselves in his probing reflections on a land that has captivated storytellers for millennia.
