Poveste despre dragoste şi întuneric by Amos Oz RO
Description:
In Israelul de la jumatatea secolului XX, micul Amos isi petrece copilaria in intimitatea cartilor, a nesfarsitelor discutii intelectuale, pasionat fiind de marile intamplari ale istoriei, de sensul lor si inconjurat de membrii familiei sale, carturari autentici, care ii insufla dorinta de cunoastere. Inzestrat cu o imaginatie debordanta, Amos transfigureaza intamplarile istoriei, al caror martor implicat este, intr-o saga incitanta, evenimentele pastrand dramatismul perceput de copilul a carui sensibilitate contrasteaza puternic cu neverosimilul celei mai tulburi perioade din istoria lumii.
