| 1. |  | All Whom I Have Loved: A Novel from Schocken Price: $15.64 Customer Review:  I have only read four books by Appelfeld incuding his Memoir. They are always very engaging and compelling and very moving. I decided after reading this latest, which I liked a lot and could not put down, because it was very readable and intriguing, that I would get all of the rest of his... |

| 2. |  | Badenheim 1939 from David R Godine Price: $10.36 Customer Review:  When I began reading this book,I anticipated a telling of the nazi shadow engulfing the Jews of Austria in the style of-say- Primo Levi, or even Zweigs recollections in his 'World of Yesterday' autobiography. But Appelfelds style is unique. Yes, the nazi shadow is coming to engulf.As readers... |

| 4. |  | The Conversion: A novel from Schocken Price: $15.00 Customer Review: Unfortunately the nobel prize has already been given many times to jews who lived true the holocaust, else Appelfeld would have been a clear candidate. Indeed he is a master who should have received it, and he might end up as another example of the best writers never receiving one. In the novel we... |

| 5. |  | Six Israeli Novellas from David R Godine Price: $19.95 Customer Review: Each of the Novellas has a protagonist of unusual proportions, attempting to find something just slightly beyond himself or herself. While being a part of contemporary fiction, there is a certain historical perspective such as the disposed, wandering Jew of Aharon Appelfeld's "The Isles of St.... |

| 6. | [no image] | The Age of Wonders from David R Godine Pub Customer Review: Like so many of Appelfeld's novels this book is filled with characters who find their own Jewish identity problematic. His characters do not as far as I know ever have a positive Jewish religious identity. And the religious Jews from Eastern Europe are looked on often with repulsion. This is the... |

| 8. |  | The Immortal Bartfuss (Appelfeld, Aharon) from Grove Press Price: $11.00 Customer Review: This is one of Appelfeld's finest books. Bartfuss is a survivor who for years has not spoken to his wife Rosa. She too is a survivor whose whole life is in raising their two daughters. One daughter marries but the second retarded daughter becomes an object of her parents rivalry. Bartfuss is a... |

| 9. |  | The Iron Tracks: A novel from Schocken Price: $13.50 Customer Review: Aharon Appelfeld is one of the world's greatest living novelists, and this novel demonstrates his many virtues. Like his previous works "The Age of Wonders" and "The Immortal Bartfuss" it is short, it concentrates on Holocaust survivors, and its style is sparse, elliptical. Erwin Siegelbaum is in... |

| 10. |  | A Table for One: Under the Light of Jerusalem from The Toby Press Price: $11.01 Customer Review: This book is a collaboration of father and son, the writer Aharon Appelfeld supplies the text, and his son artist Meir Appelfeld the art work. My review will relate almost exclusively to the text, though I find something of its spirit in the restrained, dignified well- composed paintings. In... |

| 11. |  | The Story of a Life: A Memoir from Schocken Customer Review:  Way too short on details and specifics. Apparently the author's memories of the Holocaust are still too painful or repressed. I don't need to know all the horror of it, but expected much more of an eye-witness account. |

| 12. |  | Tzili: The Story of a Life (Appelfeld, Aharon) from Grove Press Price: $10.80 Customer Review: This is a very moving work. Its heroine Tzila is a most sympathetic character. She is the youngest child in a poor Jewish family, and is repeatedly reprobated because she does not like her siblings do well at school. When the War threatens her family they escape leaving her behind to guard the... |

| 13. |  | Unto the Soul: A novel from Schocken Customer Review: This one is his tenth book and is the English translation of an unpublished Hebrew manuscript entitled 'Ad Nafed,' about abandoned brother and sister who live in isolation and depend entirely on each other for every need, physical and emotional. Not spiritual; that is lacking in this story. Other... |

| 14. |  | For Every Sin (Appelfeld, Aharon) from Grove Press Price: $9.35 Customer Review: This is not one of my favorite Appelfeld books. But it nonetheless is a novel of quality which gives insights into the very special world of survivors of the Shoah. In this work the hero, a young man named Theo attempts to make his way home to Bad-a -Wein(Vienna) where he was born. On the way he... |

| 15. |  | To the Land of Cattails (Appelfeld, Aharon) from Grove Press Price: $9.35 Customer Review: Most of the books I have read by Mr. Aharon Appelfeld have dealt with movement, the movement of an individual, or in this case, a Mother and her Son. This work differs as it is at the beginning of The Holocaust, and we read not of survivors attempting to travel and regain their previous life, but of... |

| 16. |  | The Healer (Appelfeld, Aharon) from Grove Press Price: $11.00 Customer Review: Once again we have an Appelfeld- like family with the father skeptical of religion, a hardheaded businessman, and the mother more sympathetic to Jewish tradition. Once again we have the division within the family which persists throughout. The parents and their children the athletic Karl and the... |
