«Una extraordinaria sensibilidad para la reconciliación y la observación recorre estos relatos. Estas características reflejan un fascinante movimiento hacia la modestia y la introversión, quizás como respuesta al constante crecimiento de la figura de Amos Oz a nivel internacional.» Haaretz Los ocho relatos de Entre amigos transcurren en el kibutz imaginario Yikhat y dibujan retratos maravillosos por su delicadeza de mujeres y hombres que tienen sueños íntimos y experiencias dolorosas privadas a la sombra de uno de los más grandes sueños colectivos de la historia del siglo XX. Un padre cuya hija se va a vivir con un miembro del kibutz tan mayor como él; una mujer que escribe una carta estremecedora a otra mujer por la que su marido la ha abandonado; un niño externo que va a visitar a su padre a un hospital para enfermos mentales; un jardinero que carga sobre sus espaldas con todas las tragedias del mundo: cada una de estas historias personales es una perla de humanidad literaria y juntas forman un collar que es también un retrato de un ideal y de una época.

The authors roam the gamut of Jewish history to explain the integral relationship of Jews and words. Father and daughter tell the tales behind Judaism's most enduring names, adages, disputes, texts, and quips. These words, they argue, compose the chain connecting Abraham with the Jews of every subsequent generation. From the unnamed, possibly female author of the Song of Songs through obscure Talmudists to contemporary writers, they suggest that Jewish continuity, even Jewish uniqueness, depends not on central places, monuments, heroic personalities, or rituals but rather on written words and an ongoing debate between the generations.
