O ovoj e-knjizi
Excerpt: "While Belgium is bleeding and hoping, while Poland suffers and dreams of liberation, while Serbia is waiting for redemption, there is a little country the soul of which is torn to pieces—a little country that is so remote, so remote that her ardent sighs cannot be heard. It is the country of perpetual sacrifice, the country that saw Abraham build the altar upon which he was ready to immolate his only son, the country that Moses saw from a distance, stretching in beauty and loveliness,—a land of promise never to be attained,—the country that gave the world its symbols of soul and spirit. Palestine!"
O autoru
Alexander Aaronsohn, born in 1888 in Zikhron Ya'akov, was a pivotal figure in early 20th-century Jewish history and literature. A member of the prominent Aaronsohn family, known for their agricultural and scientific contributions to the Zionist movement, Alexander's life was steeped in the cultural and political upheavals of his time. His experiences in Ottoman-ruled Palestine and his involvement with the Nili espionage network, which supported the British against the Turks during World War I, positioned him as a controversial yet heroic figure.Aaronsohn's literary contributions extend beyond mere storytelling; they offer a vivid, first-hand account of the complexities of life in Palestine under Ottoman rule. His works are imbued with a sense of urgency and a call for Jewish self-determination, resonating with contemporary themes of resistance and identity. His vivid prose and unflinching honesty influenced a generation of writers and thinkers who grappled with the realities of colonialism, war, and national identity.Notably, Aaronsohn's revolutionary ideas about Jewish statehood and his active role in espionage made him a subject of both admiration and controversy. His life and works continue to inspire modern readers with their blend of personal courage and historical significance, offering a window into a transformative period in Middle Eastern history. Alexander Aaronsohn remains a compelling figure whose legacy is a testament to the enduring struggle for freedom and self-determination.
