SynopsisWritten in 1933 by a Polish reporter travelling across Mandate Palestine, this book is an eye-witness account of the early stages in formation of the state and nation of Israel, as well as a collection of founding myths. It extends the historical perspective beyond the immediate context of the current debates in and outside Israel., "Printed in English for the first time by Academic Studies Press, Palestine for the Third Time is an engaging, empathetic and often perceptive account of the Zionist project in the ancestral homeland of the Jews." --Sheldon Kirshner, Times of Israel Palestine for the Third Time is a book of reportage originally published in Poland in 1933 by Ksawery Pruszyoski, a young reporter working for a Polish newspaper, who went to Mandate Palestine to see for himself whether the Zionist dream of returning to Eretz Yisrael had a chance of turning into reality. Travelling widely and talking to people he happened to meet on his way--Jews, Arabs, committed dreamers and the disaffected--he was trying to explain to his readers what he was seeing. This book is a unique firsthand account of the early stages in formation of the state and nation of Israel. But it's not just a nostalgic vignette. It resonates powerfully today, linking Tony Judt, Edward Said, and Amos Oz, illuminating the hotly debated questions of modern Israel.
