From the dust jacket: "This extraordinary book is the result of Saul Bellow's sojourn in Israel during several months in late 1975. It was hardly his first experience of Jerusalem - he had covered the 1967 Six Day War for Newsday - but in many ways it was his most intense. To Jerusalem and Back is his personal record of his stay in Israel and a meditation crackling with wit and controversy on America's relationship with the embattled country. Saul Bellow's journey then is not merely to a very beautiful and very troubled city but into the heart of one of the most tragic and complex issues of this century. His 'personal account' is a major literary work and an urgently important one." Condition: Clean covers; there is a small very light stain at the bottom-right corner of the spine. Sharp cover corners. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages. Both covers are firmly attached. Nice interior - the text pages are clean and appear unread with no issues found.
