Feathers

By (author) Haim Be'er

| book description |

Be'er portrays the world of a deeply religious community in Jerusalem during the author's childhood and adolescence in the 1950s and 1960s. The novel is filled with vivid portraits of eccentric Jerusalem characters, chief among them the book's main character, Mordecai Leder, who dreams of founding a utopian colony based on the theories of the nineteenth-century Viennese Jewish thinker Karl Popper-Lynkeus. Similar high-flying dreams inspire the family of the narrator, strict Orthodox Jews with impractical minds and adventurous souls - men such as the narrator's father, who periodically disappears from home on botanical expeditions meant to prove that the willow tree of Scripture is in fact the Australian eucalyptus. This is one of the National Yiddish Book Center's 100 greatest works of Modern Jewish literature.
