Literature Brings History Alive

It is often literature which brings the study of history alive for students. Never was that observation more true than a reading of this marvelous book illustrates. From the first quote by Wittgenstein,to the concluding story The Name, by Aharon Megged, the narratives contained in this collection give faces to history. The thematic organization of the stories allows the teacher to pick and choose selections which can humanize classroom lectures. Readers will find it hard to put the book
down after they have read the first story. This book is a treasure.
