The Great Madness

Más información sobre el libro

Set against the backdrop of World War I, this documentary novel draws from Avigdor Hameiri's own experiences, blending autobiography with fiction. Recognized as the first bestseller in pre-state Israel, it offers a unique perspective within the genre, often dominated by male authors. The narrative is frequently likened to Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front. This new translation revitalizes Hameiri's significant work, making it accessible to contemporary readers and enriching the English literary canon of the era.
