"Now and forever

Presentation

This book attempts to introduce the French reader to some of the questions raised by Israeli poetry, such as the complexity of periodization, the balance between the national narrative and the personal, biblical myths or Israeli identity renewed by the multiculturalism of society. The links between love and the divine are also examined, as are European poetic structures in their Hebrew versions. Each of these chapters is illustrated by Hebrew poetic texts translated into French that demonstrate these issues respectively.
