{"product_id":"israel-is-real","title":"Israel is Real","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are many books about Israel, but none like this. From Rich Cohen, the author of the acclaimed \u003ci\u003eTough Jews\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Avengers\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSweet and Low\u003c\/i\u003e, comes a new approach to a story we thought we knew. Breaking through the heated polemics and intractable politics, \u003ci\u003eIsrael Is Real \u003c\/i\u003eis a fresh voice, a tale of people and ideas, of the background of present-day Israel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCohen relates Israel's story as that of a place long ago destroyed and transformed into an idea . . . and which, sixty years ago, was retransformed into a place, and therefore into something that can once again be destroyed. From the medieval false prophets, to the nineteenth-century Zionists, and on to present-day figures like Ariel Sharon, Cohen tells the stories of the people obsessed with this fine line between place and idea, creation and destruction. He reclaims from obscurity a multitude of figures marginalised by history, but whose lives are key to any real understanding of Israel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54229668725080,"sku":"9781787330184","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781787330184.jpg?v=1764885614","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/israel-is-real","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
