Set in Jerusalem in 1947, at the end of the British Mandate of Palestine, 'A Panther in the Basement' tells the moving story of the relationship between Profi, a Jewish boy, and a British sergeant interested in biblical Israel and Hebrew. Profi agrees to exchange Hebrew and English lessons with the sergeant in order to obtain information, but his friends brand him a traitor. Amos Oz uses this situation to reflect on the true meaning of betrayal. This paperback edition, published by Siruela, has 168 pages and is part of the 'Nuevos Tiempos' collection.
Amos Oz was an Israeli writer, novelist, journalist, and intellectual. He was also a professor of Hebrew literature at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. From 1967 onwards, Oz was a prominent advocate of a two-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.
