Colin Shindler Bücher

Eine heitere Familienidylle: Drei junge englische Paare mit ihren Kindern können sich zum ersten Mal einen Sommerurlaub in einem wunderschönen Haus in Ravello leisten. Doch in das unbeschwerte Ferienglück bricht das Unbegreifliche herein: Während die sonst stets geforderten Mütter einen Ausflug unternehmen, ertrinkt die kleine Emily im Meer - und nichts ist mehr, wie es war. Jahre später noch belastet die schreckliche Tragödie Julia und Mike, die sich mehr und mehr voneinander entfernt haben. Daran kann auch Jamie, der Sohn, der dem Paar noch geblieben ist, nichts ändern. Und als Julia durch Zufall ihrer großen Liebe von einst wieder begegnet, ist sie hin- und hergerissen zwischen alten und neuen Gefühlen - bis ein schicksalhaftes Ereignis ihr den richtigen Weg weist.

Colin Shindler's remarkable history begins in 1948, as waves of immigrants arrived in Israel from war-torn Europe to establish new cities, new institutions, and a new culture founded on the Hebrew language. Optimistic beginnings were soon replaced with the sobering reality of wars with Arab neighbours, internal ideological differences, and ongoing confrontation with the Palestinians. The author paints a broad canvas that affords unusual insights into Israel's multicultural society, forged from more than one hundred different Jewish communities and united by a common history. In this updated edition, Shindler covers the significant developments of the last decade, including the rise of the Israeli far right, Hamas's takeover and the political rivalry between Gaza and the West Bank, Israel's uneasy dealings with the new administration in the United States, political Islam, the expansion of the Jewish settlements on the West Bank and the potential impact of the Arab Spring on the region as a whole. This sympathetic yet candid portrayal asks how a nation that emerged out of the ashes of the Holocaust and was the admiration of the world is now perceived by many Western governments in a less than benevolent light.

This book traces the history of the Israeli Right since its inception and its struggle to gain power.

Eighteen years ago, Tom Johnson returned to California from Oxford and broke Julia's heart. Mike Ramsey picked up the pieces, but a family tragedy has left their marriage slowly disintegrating to the point where they can hardly bear to touch one another. Mike takes refuge on the golf course with their teenage son; Julia in fantasises of her lost lover. Then she learns that Tom is divorced and still thinking about her, and an old friend gives her Tom's card. A work trip to San Francisco will take her just 50 miles from his vineyard in the Napa Valley, but should she risk the consequences of seeking him out?
