I have my cat Fizz and Kylie Minogue's music to keep me going as I dream big. I know there's a better life out there for me.

Con poche pennellate precise Amos Oz ricrea il microcosmo di un kibbutz israeliano negli anni Cinquanta. Dal giardiniere timido e solitario che ha la passione di dare brutte notizie, alla donna lasciata dal marito per un'altra che le vive praticamente accanto, dal vecchio elettricista che, con sbigottita discrezione, non riesce a capacitarsi dell'amore della figlia diciottenne per il suo insegnante di storia, al falegname pettegolo che in preda all'ira schiaffeggia il compagno delle elementari del figlio, dalle tentazioni sensuali del segretario del kibbutz durante la sua ronda notturna.

The Prophetic Books of Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi.

Historically, these twelve shorter prophetic books were grouped together and copied onto a single scroll, known as "The Book of the Twelve," in the Hebrew Bible.
