This remarkable work is a thematically cohesive book, dramatizing modern man's exile from God and his quest from redemption. The Jewish experience of the 20th century, particularly in Israel, is its prime metaphor. Almost all the stories compiled in this work express the terrible paradox of attempting to achieve the reign of peace by forcing history. Upper edges of dust-jacket slightly sunned.
