过去七年间,埃特加•凯雷特有很多担忧:儿子列夫出生在恐怖袭击的中心特拉维夫;父亲生病了;他经常做关于伊朗总统的噩梦;还有一个穷追不舍的电话销售员大概一直到他死的那天都会推销产品给他。但从黑暗、荒诞的生活中诞生了许多有趣、温柔和沉思的文章。凯雷特在个人生活和政治生活、有趣 和深刻之间自由转换,让我们看到这个世界是多么反复无常,人类是如何在最不可能的地方寻找善的。

In Between Friends, Amos Oz returns to the kibbutz of the late 1950s, the time and place where his writing began. These eight interconnected stories, set in the fictitious Kibbutz Yekhat, draw masterly profiles of idealistic men and women enduring personal hardships in the shadow of one of the greatest collective dreams of the twentieth century.
A devoted father who fails to challenge his daughter’s lover, an old friend, a man his own age; an elderly gardener who carries on his shoulders the sorrows of the world; a woman writing poignant letters to her husband’s mistress—amid this motley group of people, a man named Martin attempts to teach everyone Esperanto.
Each of these stories is a luminous human and literary study; together they offer an eloquent portrait of an idea and of a charged and fascinating epoch. Amos Oz at home. And at his best.
