Simorgh

Beschreibung

Simorgh tells the story of conflict and friendship in a Jewish-Muslim world. Revealing life in Afghanistan and Palestine in the first half of the 20th century, the novel brings together reality and imagination, cruelty and innocence, against the backdrop of the tensions between a Jewish minority and a Muslim majority. Following its main protagonist the novel juxtaposes two Jewish worlds: Afghanistan, where poverty prevails and daily life is a struggle to survive, and life in the Land of Israel, where despite all the hardship, there is a surprising amount of possibility.
