A life story of the award-winning author of The Same Sea recounts his boyhood in war-torn Jerusalem of the 1940s and 1950s, his mother's tragic suicide when he was twelve, his decision to join a kibbutz and change his name, and his participation in Israel's political upheavals.
Review:
"A moving, emotionally charged memoir....a boon for admirers of Oz's work and contemporary Israeli literature in general."
Kirkus, 07/15/2004
Review:"Like his fiction, it's full of humour and lovely writing....[T]he main story [is] of Amos and his parents. And here, though humour still touches everything, the darkness of the title prevails....A TALE OF LOVE AND DARKNESS is an important book for students of Amos Oz, and a fascinating one in general."
Carole Angier, Literary Review, September 2004

A Tale of Love and Darkness (Hardback) (ISBN: 9780151008780) Oz, Amos Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2004. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 231 x 168 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. Tragic, comic, and utterly honest, this extraordinary memoir is at once a great family saga and a magical self-portrait of a writer who witnessed the birth of a nation and lived through its turbulent history. It is the story of a boy growing up in the war-torn Jerusalem of the forties and fifties, in a small apartment crowded with books in twelve languages and relatives speaking nearly as many. His mother and father, both wonderful people, were ill-suited to each other. When Oz was twelve and a half years old, his mother committed suicide, a tragedy that was to change his life. He leaves the constraints of the family and the community of dreamers, scholars, and failed businessmen and joins a kibbutz, changes his name, marries, has children, and finally becomes a writer as well as an active participant in the political life of Israel. A story of clashing cultures and lives, of suffering and perseverance, of love and darkness.
