This book is full of Story, some parts more challenging to read than others, particularly because of the intermingled Israeli and Palestinian political and historical references that I'm beginning to grasp. I know I'll re-read it someday, both to savor my favorite sections -- Oz in a cafe in Ramallah speaking with two young Arab men while a third older man sits quietly until the end, with writers for an Arab newspaper in East Jerusalem, and bearing witness to the story of an old pioneer who grew up under the Ottomans and saw his country change in unimaginable ways -- and to try again to absorb the maddening, fascinating, near stream-of-consciousness accounts from settlers, fundamentalists, and idealists. My edition has an updated author note from 1993 (the book was originally published in 1983), and I'd love to read another updated note from Oz for the 21st century. ( )

"... ich halte nichts von repräsentativen Bildern und typischen Querschnitten. Jeder Ort ist einzigartig, jeder Mensch eine Welt für sich." (Vorwort)
Das Kapitel "Eine Angelegenheit auf Leben und Tod (B)" gibt die weltanschauliche Position des Autors wieder.

> Les voix d'Israël n'est sans doute pas le livre le plus représentatif de l'oeuvre d'Amos Oz, mais il présente un réel intérêt documentaire.

This was interesting and very sad that so little has changed, or maybe worsened in over 30 years. I wish there had been more clarity about who was speaking. ( )

לקט מאמרים על מפגשים ושיחות. קריא ומרתק ביותר. אוזן חדה לנימה ולחיתוך הדיבור של מרואייניו.
מפחיד קצת בתיאור ארץ ישראל מהצד השני של המתרס. ( )
