«Il cuore del mondo» is a book of interviews and short essays by Abraham B. Yehoshua, published by Casagrande in paperback (64 pages, in Italian).
The book brings together interviews and short texts in which Yehoshua reflects on the links between the human being, Israel and the craft of writing. He recalls how his father read him the stories of «Cuore» by Edmondo De Amicis every night, and how those stories, capable of moving one to tears, awakened his literary vocation.
Published in 2000; the edition includes an introduction by Matteo Bellinelli.
For readers interested in Israeli literature and in Yehoshua's reflections on the craft of writing.
Avraham Gabriel "Boolie" Yehoshua was an Israeli novelist, essayist, and playwright. The New York Times called him the "Israeli Faulkner". Underlying themes in Yehoshua's work are Jewish identity, the tense relations with non-Jews, the conflict between the older and younger generations, and the clash between religion and politics.
