Through a rigorous reading of canonical Hebrew literary texts, the author addresses the general failure of Hebrew literature to take responsibility for the Nakba. The book illustrates how the language of modern Hebrew poetry and fiction reflects symptoms of Israeli national violence, in which the literary language produces a picture of Palestine as an arena where the violent clash between the perpetrators and the victims takes place. In doing so, the author develops a new and critical paradigm for reflecting on the moral responsibility of literature and the ethics of reading. The book includes close readings of the works of Avot Yeshurun, S. Yizhar, Nathan Alterman, Yehuda Amichai, Yitzhak Laor, and Amos Oz, among others. 410 0$aPhilological Encounters Monographs$v02. 606 $aHebrew literature 615 0$aHebrew literature. 676 $a892.409352039274 700 $aHever$b Hannan$0688599 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795121103321 996 $aThe Hebrew Literature and the 1948 War$93856334 997 $aUNINA
