The Beholder from North Town (Hebrew Edition)

HAMITBONEN (Ha-mit-bo-nen) (The Beholder from North Town - Hebrew Edition) tells fascinating stories of Shmuel Yaccoby during his youth in the 1970s, in the small Development Town of Hatzor Haglilit, in northern Israel. The author elegantly moves back and forth in time between his childhood and life as a scientist. Memoirs combine interlacing humorous and touching moments, rooted in Israeli and Jewish culture and classic rock music. Pure pleasure is guaranteed.

Unique characters reside in town and "transparent people" have a face. Based around a hardworking Jewish family of Kurdish origin. The father is a factory worker and a philosopher at heart. The mother, the pillar of the family, is illiterate, but rich in wisdom. Thirteen children, twenty-two years between the eldest and the youngest. The childhood garden returns to the author in the research laboratory and helps establish a scientific theory. A mysterious story about a grandmother murdered by a grandfather. A brother who died in his infancy and scars from an intelligent sister who passed away at the age of twenty. Also, the tale of two people, one who has just lost, and the other who is about to lose what is most precious...and much more.
