5.0 out of 5 stars A Rich, Fascinating book, 24 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Only Yesterday (Hardcover)
Agnon presents a tapestry of life in Palestine in the early 1900's. The immense richness of the characters, landscapes, settlements and communities in Israel is almost mind-boggling. Balak's fateful journey through the streets of Jerusalem is an incredible read, and brings to life the way things were. History, romance, religion are all carefully weaved together to create a stunning saga of a man -- some surmise Agnon's alter-ego -- and a dog.
