The eminent historian Saul Friedländer began a diary of Israeli politics in January 2023 as the country was convulsed by protests against Netanyahu’s attempt to overhaul the judiciary. Hundreds of thousands took to the streets to demonstrate against this threat to democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, the protests said nothing about the Palestinian question – the ‘elephant in the room’, according to Friedländer, who resumed his diary on the eve of Hamas’s 7 October assault on southern Israel. Israel was facing one of the worst crises in its history, he observes, under the worst possible internal conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDiary of a Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e weaves together profound reflections on the history of the country in the life of which Friedländer was an active participant. He memorably describes how Prime Minister Golda Meir once flatly declared to him, ‘there is no Palestinian people’. For Friedländer, on the other hand, the fight for democracy is inseparable from equality of treatment for Arab and Jewish citizens and an end to Israeli domination over Palestinians in the Occupied Territories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the continuing bloodshed, a two-state solution remains only the long-term answer to this most intractable of conflicts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46848998801644,"sku":"9781804296783","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/10982133482830.jpg?v=1759007675"},{"product_id":"franz-kafka-by-saul-friedlander-9780300219722","title":"Franz Kafka","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA highly original and engaging appraisal of Kafka’s life, work, legacy, and thought\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFranz Kafka\u003c\/i\u003e was the poet of his own disorder. Throughout his life, he struggled with a pervasive sense of shame and guilt that left traces in his daily existence—in his many letters, in his extensive diaries, and especially in his fiction. This stimulating book investigates some of the sources of Kafka’s personal anguish and its complex reflections in his imaginary world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn his query, Saul Friedländer probes major aspects of Kafka’s life (family, Judaism, love and sex, writing, illness, and despair) that until now have been skewed by posthumous censorship. Contrary to Kafka’s dying request that all his papers be burned, Max Brod, Kafka’s closest friend and literary executor, edited and published the author’s novels and other works soon after his death in 1924. Friedländer shows that, when reinserted in Kafka’s letters and diaries, deleted segments lift the mask of “sainthood” frequently attached to the writer and thus restore previously hidden aspects of his individuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855773913324,"sku":"9780300219722","price":28.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/f950bc6707c562aa81a8e480a9b1cfd1.jpg?v=1759277798"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/saul-friedlander.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
