Description
Summary:Before advancing onto the profitable, fruitful path of a novelist, Aharon Appelfeld began his career as a short story writer. Between 1962 and 1971, he wrote no less than five collections without including the numerous texts published in literary magazines.It is nature and its multiple elements that inspired his language and allowed him to create a symbolism where polysemy can only compare to the musical variations of the Hebrew language. In turn, water, the forest, the frozen tundra or the burning of the sun, the protective or harmful flora as well as the domestic or wild fauna, became modes of expression inspired by genuine languages in which sensations, memories and states of mind become manifest. Nature embodies the inspiring muse of a palette of new symbols created by the artist.
