Thirst: The Desert Trilogy contains three of Shulamith Hareven's greatest works, "The Miracle Hater", "Prophet" and "After Childhood". This volume, which includes the first English translation of "After Childhood", is also the first presentation of the trilogy in its entirety.
Each of the novellas explores the relationship of the individual between God and society. Hareven writes with great sympathy of the outsider, the rebel, as she explores with subtlety and depth how individuals learn to relate to nature, to society, and especially to the divine. While the three novellas are set in the biblical period, the author's authority and conviction render them both timeless and timely, as Shimon Peres, one time Prime Minister of Israel, has observed: Shulamit Hareven is a great writer. She combines historical and emotional depth with a brilliant haunting style. Her historical novellas are unique: this is essential history, yet not bound by particular time. It is immaterial when the plot takes place: the plot itself creates history, and time becomes a kind of clock showing the ostensible hour, but never determining the period.
Shulamith Hareven writes with integrity: her historical and human truthfulness cannot be lost in translation. She makes all our lives richer, traversing all borders.
