Modern Hebrew Literature

This course will look at the themes and aesthetics of modern Hebrew and Israeli literature. With aspirations of creating an inspiriting involvement with the subjects before us; we hope to provide historical and political context, insight in to the evolution of literary style and expressions, and above all the characteristic ways poets and writers working principally in Israel have addressed the human condition as reflected in their unique circumstances. It is a course that in a short period will be less led than guided, hopefully eliciting everyone's engagement, involvement and excitement for the varied topics and vivid personalities we will certainly encounter. Usually the 1st Wednesday of every month. No charge. RSVP appreciated. Wednesday 11 May 7:00 p
