Erwin doesn't remember much about his journey across Europe when the war finally ended--and with good reason. He spent most of it asleep, carried by other survivors as they emerged from their hiding places or were liberated from the camps and traveled by train, truck, wagon, or on foot to the shores of Naples, where they filled the refugee camps and wondered what was to become of them. As he struggles to stay awake, Erwin becomes part of a group of young boys being trained in both body and mind for their new lives in Palestine. The fog of sleep gradually lifts, and when he and his comrades arrive in Haifa, they are assigned to a kibbutz, where they learn how to tend to the land and how to speak their new language. But a part of Erwin desperately clings to the past--to memories of his parents and other relatives, to his mother tongue, to the Ukrainian city where he was born--and he knows that who he was is just as important as who he is now becoming. When he is wounded while on night patrol, Erwin must spend long months recovering from multiple surgeries and trying to regain the use of his legs. As he exercises his body, he exercises his mind as well, copying passages from the Bible in his newly acquired Hebrew and working up the courage to create his own texts in this language both old and new, hoping to succeed as a writer where his beloved father had failed. With the support of his friends and of other survivors, and with the ever-present memory of his mother to spur him on, Erwin takes his first tentative steps with his crutches--and with his pen. Once again, Aharon Appelfeld mines heart-wrenching personal experience to create dazzling, masterful fiction with a universal resonance. 650 0 $a Jewish men $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jewish youth $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jewish refugees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Young men $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Europe $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / General $2 bisacsh 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 7 $a Jewish men. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00982850 650 7 $a Jewish refugees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01730523 650 7 $a Jewish youth. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983095 650 7 $a Young men. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01183263 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 648 7 $a 1939-1945 $2 fast 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726208 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 700 1 $a Green, Yaacov Jeffrey, $e translator. 700 1 $a Rubin, Lance, $e narrator. 776 08 $i Source record: $a Apelfeld, Aharon. $s Ish she-lo pasaḳ li-yeshon.
