Podcasts about Amos Oz

In seinem weltweit gepriesenen Roman „Eine Geschichte von Liebe und Finsternis“ erzählt Amos Oz von der schmerzhaften Vergangenheit seiner Vorfahren in Osteuropa und von ihren großen Träumen, einen jüdischen Staat, ein modernes Paradies zu schaffen. Doch viele ihrer Träume scheiterten im jungen Staat Israel. Die Mutter des Schriftstellers Amos Oz nahm sich das Leben, als er selbst noch ein Jugendlicher war – ein Trauma, über das Amos Oz erstmals in seinem Familienroman schreibt. Die finnische Feature-Autorin Barbro Holmberg besuchte Amos Oz 2008 in der israelischen Negev Wüste, wo Amos Oz den Großteil seines Lebens wohnte, sprach mit ihm über sein Leben und Werk, über die komplexe Geschichte Israels und seine Hoffnungen auf Frieden in der Region. Vor sechs Jahren, am 28.12.2018, ist Amos Oz in Tel Aviv gestorben. Produktion: Finnish Broadcasting Company/ORF/rbb 2008

Lámparas de Oriente"Me pregunto, Lucía, si la guerra siempre es la misma a pesar de ir cambiando de forma. Se ha cumplido un año de los brutales atentados contra Israel que me helaron el corazón. A partir de hoy, cada día es una onomástica cruel, un recuerdo de ciudades destruidas, de refugios aéreos, de gritos de dolor. Caravanas de tristeza, Lucía, que van recorriendo las fronteras de Oriente Medio, esa tierra antigua y sabia, a la que no le cabe más dolor. Me refiero a una geografía embrutecida por las armas, sorda y ciega de fes enloquecidas, de alianzas medievales con el odio. Hay un mundo que aspira a vivir en paz, que quiere desprenderse de la tiranía, de la exaltación religiosa, que cierra los ojos ante el nuevo día para no escuchar el silbido de las bombas sobre sus cabezas. Sin embargo, soy pesimista cuando miro el mapa del Mediterráneo oriental. Trazo con un dedo los trayectos de una ciudad a otra, de Tel Aviv a Teherán, de Beirut a El Cairo. En el centro Jerusalén, con su puerta dorada abierta a todas las épocas. Es una quimera, Lucía, pero me gusta imaginar que camino por todas esas calles, por Jerusalén, por Yafo, por Haifa, en una tarde de verano de aires suaves.Por eso me refugio en mi biblioteca, para intentar entender. Los libros no solucionan los conflictos, pero sí acercan el entendimiento, nos ayudan a comprender lo que sucede y por qué sucede. En mi biblioteca hay autores judíos y musulmanes, israelíes, libaneses, egipcios e iraníes, y todos conviven bajo la luz de una lámpara. Los visito de vez en cuando. Los mantengo vivos en el recuerdo. Conversan entre ellos, como un simulacro de paz que nace en mi hogar y que querría para Oriente Medio.Y si quieres, Lucía, los abro para ti y para todos en esta tarde mediterránea:-Una historia de amor y oscuridad. Amos Oz. (Siruela).-El naufragio de las civilizaciones. Amin Maalouf. (Alianza).-Persépolis. Marjane Satrapi. (Reservoir Books).-Lejos de Egipto. André Acimán. (Libros del asteroide).-Vals con Bashir. Ari Folman."

Hebrew Literature and the 1948 War: Essays on Philology and Responsibility (Brill, 2019) is the first book-length study that examines the conspicuous absence of the Palestinian Nakba in modern Hebrew literature. 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. Learn more about your ad choices.

Julie and Hilary talk about the effect of 911 on Hilary's education; Hilary's scholarship on state education in the early twentieth- century Middle East; nationalism and the classroom; the difference between a victim and a martyr in Israeli and Palestinian literature; what we can learn from the writings of Palestinian novelist Jabra Ibrahim Jabra and Israeli novelist Amos Oz; contested language in the classroom; students' fears and desires to learn; and how to create an inclusive and open college classroom when teaching the histories of Israel /Palestine.Texts and authors discussed:Hilary Falb Kalisman, Teachers as State-Builders: Education in the Modern Middle East.

What's left of the Israeli left, and what direction will it take now in a post-October 7 world? The Israeli Left, to put it lightly, is in crisis. One of those left-wing figures under attack for speaking up for Israel is Fania Oz-Salzberger, a renowned historian, writer, and history professor. Daughter of the stalwart of the early Israeli left, writer Amos Oz, Fania believes that the Zionist left still holds the keys to peace with our Palestinian neighbors. Fania discusses her optimism rooted in her kibbutz education and resilience despite the challenges facing Israeli society. She believes that hope is a vital force, particularly in facing adversity. She describes the divisiveness in Israeli society as an illness. She emphasizes the importance of the Zionist left's role in pushing forward towards peace and a two-state solution. Despite the setbacks, including the October 7th attacks by Hamas, she remains committed to this pragmatic vision.She criticizes both Hamas and Israeli policies that she believes have hindered the two-state solution. Salzberger advocates for a renewed effort towards peace, involving international and regional cooperation, and stresses the need for a political horizon to de-radicalize both Israeli and Palestinian societies.Salzberger addresses the anti-Zionist left and the challenges posed by their views, emphasizing the importance of a moderate, pragmatic approach to Zionism that balances security with humanism. She also discusses the academic and social challenges faced by pro-Israel voices in the current global climate.Throughout the interview, she underscores the need for nuanced, informed discussions and the importance of maintaining Israel's right to exist and defend itself while striving for a peaceful resolution with the Palestinians.Stay up to date at:https://www.stateofanationpodcast.com/X: https://twitter.com/stateofapodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stateofapod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

Scriitoarea israeliană Hila Blum şi-a lansat la Bucureşti romanul „Cum să-ți iubești fiica”, apărut în imprintul ANANSI de la Editura Trei, în traducerea din ebraică a Monicăi Pruteanu. O carte tradusă în peste 20 de limbi, o carte care a ajuns în finala prestigiosului premiu literar Femina étranger. Este o poveste despre relaţia mamă-fiică, scrisă din perspectiva mamei, o mamă care îşi adoră fiica dar care ajunge să piardă legătura cu ea. Pe măsură ce citim, ne dăm seama că sentimentele mamei au ceva excesiv și ceea ce la început pare o relație minunată, o face pe fată să plece de-acasă și să nu mai vrea nici să vorbească cu părinții ei. Pînă la urmă, e şi o poveste despre cum să nu-ți iubești fiica, despre cum poți să-ți îndepărtezi copilul cînd îl legi prea mult de tine.Am stat de vorbă, în direct, la Radio România Cultural, cu Hila Blum.Cum ați ajuns să construiți personajul narator, această mamă care își iubește prea mult fiica?Hila Blum: „Cînd am început să scriu acest roman, fiica mea avea vreo şapte sau opt ani, eram copleşită, ca tînără mamă, de multitudinea de decizii pe care trebuia să le iau, unele mai importante, altele mai puţin importante, decizii legate de arta de a fi părinte. Şi acţionam în funcţie de intuiţia mea, de cunoştinţele dobîndite, de sfaturile primite de la diverşi. Cert este că-mi iubeam copilul foarte mult, însă am început să fiu îngrijorată: ce se întîmplă dacă nu reuşesc să anticipez ceea ce trebuie anticipat, dacă se întîmplă ceva rău şi eu nu înţeleg? Atunci mi-am propus să explorez prin scris aceste temeri pentru a mă elibera de ele. (...) Ştiam ce sentimente voiam să descriu, am vrut să explorez felul în care intenţiile pozitive ajung să ducă la decizii negative.”Tema relațiilor de familie este foarte prezentă în literatura israeliană contemporană, dacă ne gîndim doar la Amos Oz și Zeruya Shalev. E, oricum, una dintre temele adesea întîlnite în literatură. De ce credeți că este, încă, atît de ofertantă narativ?Hila Blum: „Atîta vreme cît există familii, acest subiect va dăinui, inclusiv în literatură. Viaţa de familie este un domeniu esenţial în care se trăieşte viaţa. Relaţiile de familie, dintre părinţi, dintre fraţi sînt esenţiale pentru literatură. Cred că relaţiile de familie reprezintă cel mai interesant, cel mai ofertant domeniu de explorat. În prezent lucrez la un alt roman, tot despre viaţa de familie. Aş putea să scriu o viaţă-ntreagă pe această temă. Nu cred că există, ca temă, o opţiune mai bună pentru un scriitor.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral!O emisiune de Adela Greceanu  Un produs Radio România Cultural

Amos Oz i samtal med Ingrid Elam by Kulturhuset Stadsteatern

Jessica Cohen is an independent translator born in England, raised in Israel, and living in Denver. She translates contemporary Hebrew prose and other creative work. In 2017, she shared the Man Booker International Prize with David Grossman for her translation of A Horse Walks Into a Bar. She has also translated works by major Israeli writers including Amos Oz, Etgar Keret, Ronit Matalon and Maya Arad, and by filmmakers Ari Folman and Nadav Lapid. She is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in translation, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. Cohen works with the Authors Guild and the American Literary Translators Association to advocate for literary translators' recognition, rights, and working conditions.She spoke about Hebrew Literature, the Authors Guild and working with David Grossman, the famous Israeli Author in this episode. Transcript:Harshaneeyam: Welcome to HarshaniumHarshaneeyam, Jessica. Such a pleasure. Jessica Cohen: Thank you. It's really a pleasure to be here. Harshaneeyam: Your father, Professor Stanley Cohen, was a human rights activist and your mother too, Ruth Cohen,. Sshe was an artist. And what kind of impact did your parents have on you as far as your literary sensibilities are concerned?Jessica Cohen: I'm not sure if it's entirely accurate to describe him as an activist. He was definitely an intellectual. And I think his activism was in the form of writing and thinking and calling things out that he saw. My mother was more of an activist in the sense that she was that sort of out on the barricades protesting and, and organizing.They both grew up in South Africa and I think developed a sense of the world and of justice or injustice, what they saw growing up under apartheid. And that was something they carried with them very much. And so I think Tthere was a way in which growing up in that household, I think I absorbed this sense of the importance of empathy with people who were not like us or who were less fortunate than us.And that's something they both definitely felt strongly about. And I, the reason I think that's connected to a literary sensibility is that I think Ggood writing necessitates empathy, both on the part of the writer, definitely, and the reader. That's really, I think, what most good fiction does, its allows you to step into someone else's life, someone who you could never be, but might be through reading.I was born in England, but we moved to Israel when I was seven. And so my schooling was always in Hebrew and my social life was in Hebrew, but everything at home was in English. My parents were both voracious readers. My sister and I also grew up reading a lot. The house was full of books everywhere you looked.And so I definitely, I think was raised with an appreciation for literature and reading and writing. And that's something I've always had. So I assume that. Tthat in some ways affected my choice of career, to live with literature. My dad, when I think of both of them, some of their biggest heroes were writers.Pictures up in my dad's office were Samuel Beckett, George Orwell. My mother had a framed portrait of Virginia Woolf up on her wall. Writers were who they looked to, I think, for inspiration and inspiration. Nnot just entertainment. Harshaneeyam: So what made you get into translation? And, interestingly, your first customer was Microsoft.Jessica Cohen: That's true. That's true. Which is very, it seems very incongruous with what I do now. Yeah. I think that a lot of people who hasof my generation and above who are literary translators, we all fell into it by chance or through various other previous lives that we had, that's changing quite a bit now because there are so many...

Dagens avsnitt handlar om den israeliska författaren Amos Oz bok ”Hur man botar en fanatiker”. Där undersöker han fanatismens natur, hur fanatismen uppstår och hur man kan tygla den hos sig själv och andra.

Amos Oz ist der meistübersetzte israelische Schriftsteller. Bis zu seinem Tod, 2018, war er davon überzeugt, dass nur eine Zweitstaatenlösung mit einem eigenständigen Palästinenser-Staat Israels Zukunft sichert. Am 4. Mai wäre Oz 85 Jahre alt geworden.

Watch this interview with Hillel Halkin. Hillel has translated over thirty books, written novels and most recently released a book called: A Complicated Jew: Selected Essays. In our interview he tells amazing stories about spending time with Amos Oz, who he translated a book for. You'll hear insight scoops on Hillel's ballsy move to write on behalf of Shalom Aleichem, out of necessity.   There is much to take away from in my schmooze with Hillel Halkin, especially the pure old-time view of Zionism and the State of Israel.

On October 29th, 2014, Richard Wolinsky conducted the last of five interviews with Martin Amis, about Amis's then most recent novel, The Zone of Interest. A new film adaptation of that novel recently opened to rave reviews. Complete Interview   Amos Oz (1939-2018), author of “A Tale of Love and Darkness” and other books, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded in San Francisco in November, 2004, while he was on tour for his memoir, “A Tale of Love and Darkness”. Encore podcast originally posted on January 13, 2019. Amos Oz, the noted Israeli novelist, short story writer, essayist and peace activist, and perennial Nobel Prize candidate, died on December 28th, 2018 at the age of 79. The author of forty books, he was a firm believer in the two-state solution who felt, over the previous decade, that the hope for peace appears to be slipping away. Today, it's gotten worse of course. Today his greatest work is considered to be the memoir of his family, set against the background of the rise of Nazi Germany, World War II, and the formation of the state of Israel, and culminating in the suicide of his mother. A Tale of Love and Darkness, was published in Israel in 2002 and two years later in the United States.

Amos Oz (1939-2018), author of “A Tale of Love and Darkness” and other books, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded in San Francisco in December 7, 2004, while he was on tour for his memoir, “A Tale of Love and Darkness”. Encore podcast originally posted on January 13, 2019. Amos Oz, the noted Israeli novelist, short story writer, essayist and peace activist, and perennial Nobel Prize candidate, died on December 28th, 2018 at the age of 79. The author of forty books, he was a firm believer in the two-state solution who felt, over the previous decade, that the hope for peace appears to be slipping away. Today, it's gotten worse of course. Today his greatest work is considered to be the memoir of his family, set against the background of the rise of Nazi Germany, World War II, and the formation of the state of Israel, and culminating in the suicide of his mother. A Tale of Love and Darkness, was published in Israel in 2002 and two years later in the United States. The post Amos Oz (1939-2018), “A Tale of Love and Darkness,” 2004 appeared first on KPFA.

Van Dis heeft een hoofd vol zorgen over de gebeurtenissen in het Midden-Oosten. Hij geeft er zijn eigen kijk op, die mede is gekleurd door zijn jeugd en zijn verblijf op een kibboets, eind jaren zestig. Zoals hij vaak doet zoekt hij duiding in poëzie, ditmaal met gedichten van Avner Treinin en Warsan Shire. Na het poëtisch intermezzo vertelt Van Dis over het boek ‘Smibologie' van prof. Soortkill, dat je van achter naar voren moet lezen. Hij is onder de indruk van het boek, waaruit hij haalt dat een 0-5 achterstand op de maatschappij als je opgroeit in de Bims (Bijlmer), óók een kracht kan zijn.Adriaan introduceert, tot verrassing van presentator Simon, een nieuwe rubriek: ‘Knipsels'.

A stellar novel rendered into a darkly comic, unforgettable narrative by Booker International Prize winning translator Jessica Cohen. An Israeli professor travels to a fictitious West African nation to trace a slave-trading ancestor, only to be imprisoned under a new law barring successive generations from profiting off the proceeds of slavery. But before departing from Tel Aviv, the protagonist falls in love with Lucile, a mysterious African migrant worker who cleans his house. Entertaining and thought-provoking, this satire of contemporary attitudes toward racism and the legacy of colonialism examines economic inequality and the global refugee crisis, as well as the memory of transatlantic chattel slavery and the Holocaust. Is the professor's passion for Africa merely a fashionable pose and the book he's secretly writing about his experience there nothing but a modern version of the slave trade?Agur Schiff, born in 1955 in Tel Aviv, is a graduate of Saint Martin's School of Art in London and the Rijks Art Academy in Amsterdam. He has worked as a filmmaker, started writing fiction in the early 1990s, and has published two short story collections and six novels. Schiff, professor emeritus at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, has been awarded the Israeli Prime Minister's Prize.Jessica Cohen shared the 2017 Man Booker International Prize with author David Grossman for her translation of A Horse Walks into a Bar. She has translated works by Amos Oz, Etgar Keret, Dorit Rabinyan, Ronit Matalon, Nir Baram, and others.Buy the book from Wellington Square Bookshop - ​https://wellingtonsquarebooks.indiecommerce.com/book/9781954404168

It's not the usual venue for it — that would be a coffee place on Emek Refaim Street in Jerusalem, but I spent about an hour talking with my friend and teacher, Gil Troy. Gil is the author and editor of nine books, including several books on Israel and Zionism — and most recently and most impressively, “Theodor Herzl,” a collection of Theodor Herzl's writings in a beautiful three volume set published by Koren, as part of its imprint, the Library of the Jewish People. We also talked about great American presidents (who would you like to have lunch with?), and our mutual American diplomatic heroes, and about what it means to support Israel, even in its most difficult times. When I think of Zionism, I focus on one of my own heroes — a man whose yahrzeit, the anniversary of his death, was just last week — the great Israeli writer and thinker, Amos Oz. Four years gone, and four years mourned. Amos Oz was quite aware there were many people who did not believe there should be a Jewish state, because they simply do not believe in nation-states. This is what I would call the John Lennon “Imagine” argument: ”Imagine there's no countries; it's easy if you try.” This is how Amos Oz responded to that argument: I would be more than happy to live in a world composed of dozens of civilizations, each developing in accordance with its own internal rhythm, all cross-pollinating one another, without any one emerging as a nation-state: no flag, no emblem, no passport, no anthem. No nothing. Only spiritual civilizations tied somehow to their lands, without the tools of statehood and without the instruments of war. But the Jewish people has already staged a long-running one-man show of that sort. The international audience sometimes applauded, sometimes threw stones, and occasionally slaughtered the actor. No one joined us; no one copied the model the Jews were forced to sustain for two thousand years, the model of a civilization without the “tools of statehood.” For me this drama ended with the murder of Europe's Jews by Hitler. In other words: It would be lovely if there were no nations, and we could all dwell together in the imaginary world of “kumbaya.” But, if a nation wants to divest itself of the trappings of its nationhood, let it go first. France, Germany, Italy… “After you,” Oz is saying. Don't expect the Jews to be the first to divest itself of its national and particular identity, and don't expect the Jews to be the only “universal” people in the world. Especially since universal identities do not exist. Until there is a universal, human identity –—which is to say, until the coming of the great messianic age — I will maintain my allegiance to this people, to this land and to this God.

Há escritores a quem se deve gratidão, nomeadamente três grandes narradores israelitas: David Grossman, Amos Oz e Abraham Yehoshua. O que temos a aprender com eles? A crónica de Francisco Sena Santos.

Nitzan Levobic discusses Zionism and melancholy, through the woks of Israel Zarchi The story of the early Zionist settlement in Palestine could be told from the viewpoint of failure and melancholia. An untold history of this period ignores the high rate of suicides and cases of clinical depression among the Zionist “pioneers”. The story of the forgotten author Israel Zarchi (1909-1947) will serve as a test case: During his short life he published six novels and seven collections of short stories, as well as translations from German, English, and Polish. He also became a close friend of Bialik, Agnon, Klausner and other literary and academic dignitaries of the Jewish Yishuv. His “Left-Wing Melancholy” was adopted by the young Amos Oz who mentions him as a key source of inspiration. Zarchi's life and writing reflects his deep melancholy, the result of the growing gap between the high Zionist ideals and the reality on the ground. Nitzan Lebovic is Professor of History and the Apter Chair of Holocaust Studies and Ethical Values at Lehigh University, Pennsylvania. He is the author of monographs and edited collections dedicated to German Lebensphilosophie [Life-Philosophy], Zionism and Melancholy, or happy concepts such as Nihilism, Catastrophe, Complicity, and Dissent.

This is the last episode I recorded before traveling to Europe again at the end of March, to attend the London Book Fair but also to visit publishers in Amsterdam and Paris. I wanted to alert you before you listen to today's interview with Les Argonautes Editeur founder Katharina Loix Van Hooff that Russia comes up a couple of times during our conversation. We mention it in the context of European literature, and more precisely because Katharina has acquired the French rights in two novels written by Dutch author Marente de Moor. Marente used to live in Russia and one of the two novels is set in there. Please note that this interview was recorded prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and keep this in mind as you're listening. Otherwise it may strike you as insensitive and incomprehensible that we do not mention the ongoing war. While I can't wait to see many publishing friends and colleagues again in person soon, my thoughts are with the people of Ukraine. I've already expressed my thoughts and concerns about the Russian invasion in 2 Seas Agency's March newsletter, and have published an article on our website, which links a list of humanitarian organizations one can donate to. 2 Seas Agency has made a donation to Médecins sans frontières/Doctors without Borders. Show Notes: Katharina's book recommendation: - The Sweet Indifference of the World by Peter Stamm About Katharina: Katharina Loix Van Hooff has been working in publishing for twenty years. Born in Berlin, she attended the Berlin Journalism school and went on to study comparative literature and history in Brussels, Berlin, Washington D.C. and Paris all while working for German newspapers and radio, amongst others reporting extensively from Russia and Ukraine. After important editing projects for a German publisher and her own novel published with Hanser Verlag, she took up a a Master's degree in Politique éditoriale in Paris (Villetaneuse-Paris XIII University) and worked several years as an agent for Anna Jarota Agency in Paris. In her function as responsible of the foreign literature department at Gallimard, she accompanied authors like Orhan Pamuk, Amos Oz, Ludmila Ulitskaya, Bernhard Schlink and Peter Handke. In the summer of 2021 she founded Les Argonautes Éditeur, an independent publishing house focusing on European translated literature. She currently develops an innovative and interactive internet project associated with the publishing house and supported by the city of Paris. The idea is to promote European literature to new audiences.
