The Hope and The Glory are my alltime favorite books I have read them at least once a year for the last 15 years Wouk tells a very gripping story of war hope friendship and love in a tale that spans decades In an approach known from Winds of War and War and Rememberance he lets his fictional protagonists intermingle closely with historical events and real characters without detouring too much from history as it really unfolded. Pdf the house on mango street His characters are very well portrayed and nicely worked out One cannot help but to sympathize with Zev Barak Don Kishote and their merry band of relatives and friends as they struggle through the ups and downs which the birthing troubles of Israel throw at them. Ebook hiperlipidemia These two books are always a reminder to me that hope is the strongest force in the universe But sometimes it s also the biggest bobkes and balagan Terms which readers of this book will understand just too well 9780316954419 This epic work by Herman Wouk takes place in Israel from the 1948 War of Independence to the 1967 Six Day War. Historical Fiction The hope's Both remarkable testaments to the strength of the Jewish people and The State of IsraelWe meet real characters who played a key role in the history of Israel such as David Ben GurionMoshe DayanRafael EitanYitzhac Rabin painted in fairly broad brush strokes charting the days immediately following Ben Gurion s proclamation of the Jewish state of Israel in 1948 after the British withdrawal continuing up to the astonishing military successes of the Six Day War Gurion is himself a character paunchy and punchy fierce yet flawed but the narrative centres around a trio of fictional surrogates whose collective ubiquity enables Wouk to give first hand accounts of all the ambassadorial military and political events that allowed a million Jews to get the better of the eighty million Arabs who surrounded them on all sides. Book the homecoming Wolfgang Berkowitz Hebraized to Zev Barak is a commander in the Israeli army at the time of independence who becomes an assistant to the Israeli ambassador in America associate to a shadowy CIA operative and eye witness to the arguments in the UN. Book the home edit Yossi Blumenhal is a young immigrant turned emergency soldier courageous and reckless whose headstrong daring at Latrun and El Arish typified the Israeli fighting spirit and earn him the nickname Don Kishote Don Quixote Sam Pasternak is the experienced Mossad man and member of the inner chamber an implacable runner and fixer for the likes of Ben Gurion foreign minister Golda Meir and the inspirational Israeli general Moshe Dayan. Hoppe kinderarzt beckum For all the insight into historical events that this trio of characters allow the book is every bit as much about the loves of their lives their affairs and the joys and regrets they experience in female company I liked the female characters they were fully written and as influential as the male leads in their own way thouugh occasionally the melodrama merely got in the way of the world changing events I thought Golda Meir could have been seen often a woman who was genuinely involved in the thick of it all but there is a follow up work to this tome called The Glory which picks up the story after 1967 so she will no doubt be centre stage there It s truly astonishing how the embattled starved under resourced Israelis triumphed over the combined Arab army a story I have been intrigued with ever since reading O Jerusalem by Collins Lapierre as a teenager I keep coming back to it Unlike that work Wouk gives an entirely Israeli centric view on the conflict though by no means an air brushed one He notes how for three millennia the Jews were exactly the same quarrelsome Israelites of the Exodus with the same God the same language and the same national character including the same ineradicable tendency to veer forever between the sublime and the balagan cock up. Ebook hiperlipidemia I don t often read mainstream historical novels like this where the characters don t have much of an interior life and the events do most of the talking but the consensus is that Wouk does this kind of thing very well and I love the subject matter so I gave it a go. The Hope Literature fictionmanai last Through the main characters such as Zev Barak and Joseph Blumenthal nicknamed Don Kishote the author portrays several real life Israeli leaders David Ben Gurion Moshe Dayan Golda Meir Mickey Marcus Yigael Yadin Ariel Sharon Motta Gur among others. The hopkins group 5 The Winds of War5 War and Remembrance4 The HopeTR The GloryTR The Caine Mutiny 9780316954419 Herman Wouk is one of this century s great historical novelists whose peerless talent for capturing the human drama of landmark world events has earned him worldwide acclaim In The Hope his long awaited return to historical fiction he turns to one of the most thrilling stories of our time the saga of Israel In the grand epic style of The Winds of War and War and Remembrance The Hope plunges the reader into the major battles the disasters and victories and the fragile periods of peace from the 1948 War of Independence to the astounding triumph of the Six Day War in 1967 And since Israelis have seen their share of comic mishaps as well as heroism this novel offers some of Herman Wouk s most amusing scenes since the famed strawberry business in The Caine Mutiny First to last The Hope is a tale of four Israeli army officers and the women they love Zev Barak Viennese born cultured military man Benny Luria ace fighter pilot with religious stirrings Sam Pasternak sardonic and mysterious Mossad man and an antic dashing warrior they call Kishote Hebrew for Quixote who arrives at Israel s first pitched battle a refugee boy on a mule and over the years rises to high rank In the love stories of these four men the author of Marjorie Morningstar has created a gallery of three memorable Israeli women and one quirky fascinating American daughter of a high CIA official and headmistress of a Washington girls school With the authenticity authority and narrative force of Wouk s finest fiction The Hope portrays not so much the victory of one people over another as the gallantry of the human spirit surviving and triumphing against crushing odds In that sense it can be called a tale of hope for all mankind a note that Herman Wouk has struck in all his writings against the prevailing pessimism of our turbulent century The Hope The Hope and the Glory 1 I can understand why people may like this but it does not fit me I like one aspect of it and but not another You get history and imaginary love affairs It is historical fiction It presents Israeli history focusing upon the War of Independence in 1948 the Sinai War in 1956 and ends with the Six Day War of 1967 This book continues with its sequel The Glory. The Hope Literature fictionmanai last These two books together may be consider a continuation of Herman Wouk s earlier two books The Winds of War followed by War and Remembrance the formation of the state of Israel being a result of the Second World War The characters of the first two books are not the same as those of the second two The feel of the books is very much the same All seem planned for the screen plot oriented a juggling of excitement and easy laughter A substitute title for The Hope might be Officers and Pretty Girls I m cracking a joke by the way. The Hope Literature fictionmanai last History is presented in a clear simplified and compressed fashion It is not hard to understand Learning about the historical events in an easy to grasp fashion is not to be scoffed at There are fictional characters but alongside them run the names of the leaders we all recognize the state s first Prime Minister David Ben Gurion and his wife Paula the American colonel Mickey Marcus who advised Gurion and died trying to help during the war for independence Moshe Dayan the star of both the Sinai War and the Six Day War and others such as Golda Meir Yigael Yadin Ariel Sharon and others easily recognizable Fictional characters are thrown in too and for the most part these are the characters that gave me trouble We are given heroes but flawed heroes which is well and good except that their flaws are unnuanced It is consistently the attraction of the opposite sex that leads them astray The scenes drawn are there to make you laugh but they are all so typical so made for the movies so many times done before that the predicaments that arise are just plain stupid Mistress and wife meet Not just one not just two but three turn up at a temporarily vacated luxury apartment and its bed Silly things like this over and over again OK maybe innocently cute but actually just plain boring Let s just call this dated So when a nitty gritty historical sections ends you know you are in for pages of silly shenanigans. Book the home for unwanted girls The writing is ordinary The humor I have described The fictional characters I cannot take seriously The audiobook is narrated by Mark Ashby Yiddish and Hebrew are thrown in and translated Different dialects are used for the Americans and the English and other nationalities too There is nothing to complain about the narration performance It is good and so I give it three stars. Religion Spirituality The hope of god I think many people love a book like this but I find the sex tame and without sizzle I find the personal relationships without spark IF an author adds a fictional component to a clear and concise presentation of historical facts the fictional must engage too The Caine Mutiny 4 starsMarjorie Morningstar 4 starsThe Winds of War read long agoWar and Remembrance read long agoThe Hope 2 starsThe Glory not for me 9780316954419 I came across this book and its sequel The Glory while browsing in a second hand bookstore I had heard about the author s The Caine Mutiny so I read the blurbs and decided to give the books a try. Pdf the house on mango street The Hope tells the story of the birth of the state of Israel in 1948 and continues till the Six Day War in 1967 As in historical novels the story is told through some real and some fictional characters The descriptions of life in Israel hostilities with the neighbouring Arab nations and the Soviet Union the wars the diplomatic wranglings with US UK France everything has been described along with the lives of the major fictional characters of the novel. The hope institute Having read Leon Uris s Exodus I could not stop myself from comparing the two books I must say that I found The Exodus was fast paced while The Hope has better characterization. The hopkins group The characters were realistic and relatable instead of keeping his fictional characters either as paragons of virtue or utter degenerates the author has made them human Different human beings have different priorities in life and all of them cannot dedicate their lives for a noble cause Human beings can never be perfect and it is human to have flaws There are people to whom money is everything while there are people who don t care much for wealth but are totally dedicated to their country A person can be a man of great integrity when it comes to duty might not run after wealth and luxury be a dedicated family man but such a man can also succumb to temptation and have an affair It is human for a person to seek a comfortable life in USA but later give it up for family who won t leave Israel for anything Time and circumstances can turn an awkward boy into a dashing soldier. Pdf the pearl In the Historical Notes section at the end of the novel he has himself mentioned that In writing a novel of Israel one can be historically accurate to only a limited extent despite painstaking research The Hope and The Exodus both have piqued my interest and I would like to get my hands on some really good non fiction books on the Arab Israel conflicts. Epub open source As for this book I really enjoyed reading it and looking forward to reading The Glory as well I would recommend this book to only those who like historical fiction with wars action 9780316954419 Warning this may contain spoilers This novel is set against the backdrop of the Israeli War for Independence 1948 to the Six Days War 1967 with the stories of several Israeli men and women and how they relate to each other It was ok but not great Not meaning to be snarky but it was like Days of Our Lives transposed into Israel during the 50s and 60s It had a soap opera ish quality that does not appeal to me much Much of the plot features love triangles Some of the behaviors of the characters seemed contrived and unrealistic For example how many women out there bearing his children raising his kids keeping a home running would be just fine with their man keeping warm with another woman s fire Sure it may happen yeah right just like there may have been someone who got mauled both by a polar bear and a grizzly bear on the same day There are other plot contrivances between the characters that along the same lines I found neither realistic nor entertaining. Historical Fiction The hope's Much of the plot is based on dialogue between characters I found their chit chat generally trivial boring and tedious The best parts of the novel are the ones during Israel s wars with its Arab adversaries but these are only about 25% of the book The content of the rest is little different from what you d get in daytime TV dramas Overall mildly entertaining but not great 9780316954419 This is definitely the best book I ve read for a while It is an outstanding depiction of the early years of the Jewish state the wars they fought and an interesting story about some of the real characters as well as fictional characters who were involved I ve always enjoyed this author s work but this may be his best effort 9780316954419 Herman Wouk is one of the masters of the historical novel I have read all of his books years ago I noted they are now publishing them in e book format I decided to re read The Hope in light of what has happened over the recent years in the Middle East The two books The Hope and The Glory cover the history of Israel The Hope covers the years from 1948 to 1967 and Wouk pays the most attention to the three wars The War of Independence the 1956 Sinai War and the Six Day War. Book the hope chest Wouk weaves the story of two protagonists a young polish immigrant Yossi Nitzan Blumenthal a daring military officer and Zev Barak born in Vienna whose military career is sidelined as he is transferred into diplomacy and is sent to Washington D. The hope institute The book is well written and meticulously researched Wouk researched government archives personal diaries newspapers and personal interviews to present history as accurately as possible His account is sympathetic to Israel but he does not attempt to make the Arabs into villains The author does an excellent job revealing the passion behind the founding of Israel Wouk does a great job with the military scenes and the inside workings of politics All the real people are accurately portrayed in the story I read this as an e book on my Kindle app for my iPad The book is 706 pages long The e book was published December 2 2016 The original publication date for the book was 1993 9780316954419
