    «Amos Oz es un genio literario. Cada uno de sus libros nos afecta, nos conmueve. Y Escenas de la vida rural no es una excepción. Un magnífico libro de relatos de un escritor que nos ofrece el máximo de su talento.»     De MorgenEscenas de la vida rural reúne ocho relatos del escritor israelí Amos Oz centrados en un mismo eje común: la vida en Tel Ilán, un imaginario pueblo israelí. En «Herederos», un desconocido llega a casa de Arie Tzelnik, quien, abandonado por su familia, se ha ido a vivir con su madre. El desconocido se presenta como un abogado cuyos planes son internar a la anciana para que Arie y él puedan quedarse con la casa. En «Excavan», se relata la historia de un antiguo parlamentario, Pesaj Kedem, que vive con su hija Rahel. Él es un viejo gruñón que no ha olvidado lo mal que lo trataron sus compañeros de partido. Padre e hija conviven aislados y las pocas visitas que reciben encolerizan al anciano. Con ellos vive también un joven árabe que quiere escribir un libro que compare la vida en los pueblos judíos y árabes. Por las noches, Pesaj Kedem, y más tarde el joven árabe, oyen ruidos de picos y palas debajo de la casa... Y, a modo de epílogo, «En un lejano lugar en otro tiempo» describe el deterioro físico y moral de Tel Ilán, un pueblo en descomposición.

      This is a very delicate little book, in which nothing much seems to be happening - we get seven snippets from the ordinary lives of ordinary people in a village called Tel Ilan, created as a farming community by Jewish pioneers a century ago, and now slowly turning into a "beauty spot". The characters from each story pop up in the background of one or two of the others, but there isn't anything like a connected plot; even within the stories themselves there's no conventional dramatic resolution. And there are borderline strange things going on that are never quite explored or explained. But we learn a good deal from the "throwaway" background details about how small communities work, about families, about the state of Israel and its relationship with its history, about art and work and culture, about life and death and old age, and much else.Another writer I will have to read more of. And almost a motivation to try to learn Hebrew...

      This collection of short stories by Amos Oz is set in an apparently fictional historical village in Israel that has been populated by Jews for roughly a century. The characters in the first seven stories all know each other, and those who are the center of one story will often appear in a minor role in one or more other ones. The stories are about the lives of the characters within their families and community, and focus on the loneliness and barely hidden frustration and despair that plague each of them. Each character is in a search for something, often without knowing what it is they are looking for or why, and the stories are dreamlike, haunting, and often mildly uncomfortable and menacing. In the longest story, "Digging", a middle-aged widow lives with her cantakerous and difficult elderly widowed father, along with a shy and introspective Arab university student who lives in a shed on their land in exchange for performing household chores. The elderly man is awakened each night by the sound of digging underneath the house, yet no one else seems to hear it. Other stories feature a single doctor who expectantly waits for her ill nephew; a divorced woman pursued by a lovestruck and lonely teenager; an older man who lives in peace with his infirm mother at the edge of the village, until an intrusive stranger who claims to be a relative urges him to sell his mother's property; and the town's mayor, who receives a mysterious note from his wife. Oz does not provide the reader or his characters with straightforward resolutions to their dilemmas or searches, which made the stories that much more memorable and powerful. The last story is quite unlike the others, as it is set in a different place at another time (past? present?), in a town whose structures are decaying and whose citizens are dying despite the best efforts of the official who is charged with their welfare.The stories are wonderfully written, with simple yet evocative language, and I slowly savored each passage, such as this one from the elderly man in "Digging", as the Arab student plays a haunting Russian melody on his harmonica on one summer evening:'That's a lovely tune,' the old man said. 'Heart-rending. It reminds us of a time when there was still some fleeting affection between people. There's no point in playing tunes like that today: they are an anachronism, because nobody cares any more. That's all over. Now our hearts are blocked. All feelings are dead. Nobody turns to anyone else except from self-interested motives. What is left? Maybe only this melancholy tune, as a kind of reminder of the destruction of our hearts.'[Scenes from Village Life] is an unforgettable book, which is one of my favorite reads of the year, and one I look forward to returning to in the near future.

      This sad, but hauntingly beautiful, book is composed of stories of individuals who live in the fictitious rural century-old village of Tel Ilan in Israel. Since all of the stories take place within this small village, characters from one story often make cameo appearances in other stories. The stories are rich and layered. All except the last one dwell upon the psychological depths of an individual (each different) at a particular place and time. For readers who are familiar with life in Israel, the characters and their feelings seem very familiar. There is no resolution to the issues posed in the stories, a fact which makes each story significantly unsettling. Although I loved reading most of this book, I was taken aback by the last story (“In a Faraway Place at Another Time”) which seemed totally incongruous with the rest of the book. I just wish it hadn’t been included in this otherwise slim and perfect volume. My favorite story was “Relations” in which Dr. Gili Steiner, a physician, awaits the arrival of her soldier nephew Gideon, newly released from the hospital following a kidney infection.This book is a pleasure to read with its poignant and evocative writing. However, I would advise reading this book slowly as there is much to savor in each individual story. Plan to take the time to feel the depths of each one by itself.
    • 4/5
      I took my time reading one short story from this book each day, and was able to savour the writing, well drawn characters and various other rich details, and ponder over each of these as I went along. Each story takes place in the same fictional village of Tel-Ilan in Israel, a place of great natural beauty, and a Jewish settlement of more than a hundred years old which, as such, pre-dates the foundation of the state of Israel. The title describes the approach of the author very well, with each tale narrating a different scene; each is set in a contemporary setting which features various inhabitants of the village and describes an incident, weaved in with their relations to one another, their history and their personal challenges and struggles. There is a woman in her forties living with her elderly father who needs constant looking after and who is convinced that he hears digging under the house in the middle of the night. There is the female village doctor who awaits her beloved nephew at the bus terminal and is distraught when he doesn't show up. There is a couple which tries to hold on to a full life after the suicide of their sixteen-year old son, and a houseguest who decides to investigate what lays behind closed doors. Some of the characters reappear in other stories, which creates a connection between the various parts of the book, as the stories are quite diverse and do not form a cohesive narrative taken as a whole. One thing they all seem to have in common is that they end on a note of suspense; pregnant moments filled with possibilities. Of course, this leaves much to the imagination, a devise which works well in the hands of this masterful and mature author, but at the same time made me wish Amos Oz had developed the stories beyond these small glimpses into these people's lives. As such, I was left feeling very much like a voyeur, looking through small windows at fleeting moments of his characters' lives—which he manages to make us believe in within the first few sentences of each story—at what feels beyond a doubt like a much bigger life experience. Much closer to the way we experience real life, in fact: through these various disconnected moments, as opposed to the long flowing narratives often found in novels which don't much resemble any living individual's personal experience. There is a prevailing note of melancholy throughout, and the last story of the book, which takes us to an altogether different place at a different time, is truly dark in tone and imbued with a sense of hopelessness, which is an odd place to finish, but then again, as there is no beginning and no end to any of the stories, perhaps we're only meant to take this new element of the puzzle as a shift in paradigm. Overall I was quite impressed with this new-to-me author and will be interested to read some of his novels. I truly wish my Hebrew was good enough for me to read them in the original version, because with the little Hebrew that remains to me, I can't help but try to translate as I'm reading to get a better feeling for the tone and intention and the Israeli spirit and mentality which I grew up with as a child. It's all here in this strange little book, to be sure. Recommended, though do expect to be left in a ponderous state to figure out the full implications on your own.

      Amos Oz is a great writer. He writes in Hebrew, and his books are translated into English. He is considered one of the top three Israeli writers. This book, which will be published on October 20, 2011 - I received as an advance reading copy - contains eight brilliant short, perceptive, thought-provoking, and somewhat disturbing vignettes, about sometimes surreal citizens of an Israeli village. For example, in the first story Heirs, an unusual stranger, outlandishly dressed with bizarre behavior, arrives at the home of a troubled man and tells him that he would like to buy his very old mother’s house, the house in which he and his mother are living. The son is conflicted. He wants and doesn’t want to sell. He tells the man to leave. But the man ignores the order, enters the house, goes to the silent old woman’s bedroom, and gets into bed with her, strokes and kisses her, and mummers softly, “Everything is going to be all right, dear lady. It’s going to be lovely. We’ll take care of everything.” The son also undresses and gets into the bed with his quite old mother. Readers will ask: What is the significance of the bed scene? Why is the tale called Heirs in the plural when the old woman only has a single son? Similarly, in the seventh story Singing a man of the village leaves the thirty-some villagers who came to a home to sing together. This is the home of a man and woman whose son committed suicide under their bed, and lay there dead for a day undiscovered. The husband hasn’t gotten over the event, and sits on the side brooding while the others are singing. The visitor also suffers despair. He wanders upstairs, confused, without understanding why he is doing so, enters a bedroom, and thinks: “I had no further reason to turn my back on despair. So I got down on my hands and knees at the foot of the double bed and, rolling back the bedspread, tried to grope with the pale beam of my flashlight into the dark space underneath.” Readers will enjoy reading the artistic descriptions of the events and wondering what is the significance of this man’s act.In the third vignette Digging we read about the interrelations of an old almost senile, very dissatisfied, fault-finding father; his good-looking, well-groomed daughter, a widow in her mid-forties, a teacher of literature in the village, who patiently cares for her father; and a young Arab student who is writing about relationships, who she allows to live in a hut on her property in exchange for help in repairing her house and property. Her father complains that he hears digging under the house at night. She is certain that he is imagining the noise and changes his medicine. Then the Arab boy asks her about the digging. She sleeps soundly and hears nothing. She decides she should stay up and listen, and she hears the digging as well. What is going on? What is Amos Oz telling us?In summary, in these vignettes, Amos Oz explores the psyche of people in a small village, such as the puppy love of a seventeen year old boy for a short plump overworked librarian twice his age in Strangers, where the boy rubs up against the older woman, and the psychological and sociological consequences to the two of them. The story is called Strangers because of these consequences. But Oz gives us much more than a fascinating exploration of the mind-set of village people. These people are a mirror that reflects life outside of the village.
