Here comes the Messiah!..
14.99 €
Dina Rubina's "Here Comes the Messiah!" was written during her emigration to Israel and is among the author's early works.
The novel consists of short stories and describes the ordinary everyday lives of ordinary Israeli people facing the difficulties of adapting to a new environment. Rich with vivid descriptions of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, it focuses primarily on the theme of the Motherland and the sense of homeland that repatriates strive to find.
The novel describes the family's move to Israel, the famous writer N. The heroine of another storyline is a forty-year-old music teacher named Zyama, who published a supplement to a Russian-language newspaper. The hero of the next story, who unites and separates the heroines, is Israel itself, the promised land, where no one welcomed Russian Jews. The heroes are happy only in a country with the Israeli heat, a foreign language environment, where people earn their living by any means possible (a music teacher publishes a political and literary magazine, and a writer washes floors in offices in the evenings), where machine gun fire can be heard at night, and where sons are drafted into the army.
