Pressestimmen
"The narrative is fast paced, bursting with action, and obviously based on an intimate grasp of the region , its peoples, their tradition and age--old ways of life."--John Barkham Reviews
Kurzbeschreibung
Leon Uris retums to the land of his acclaimed best-seller Exodus for an epic story of hate and love, vengeance and forgiveness and forgiveness. The Middle East is the powerful setting for this sweeping tale of a land where revenge is sacred and hatred noble. Where an Arab ruler tries to save his people from destruction but cannot save them from themselves. When violence spreads like a plague across the lands of Palestine--this is the time of The Haj.

Uris' book is not 'hate literature' against Arabs or Islam. He tells the story of the establishment of Israel and its devastating impact on the Arab people then living in Palestine. The story is primarily told from the perspective of an Arab boy growing up during that time period. Uris contrasts and compares the lifestyles of the Western-oriented Jews and the tradition-oriented Islamic Palestinians. "The Haj" is heavily biased in favor of Israel, Judaism, and the West, but is also accurate in its portrayal of the Palestinian socio-political-economic system of the time. His description of Islam's influence on the lifestyle of Palestinian Arabs is highly unflattering and Western culture-biased: a worst case scenario of the application of Mohammed's teachings. However, it is not entirely unfair or totally inaccurate. While there is much more to Islamic society than Uris describes, many of the same conditions and beliefs detailed in "The Haj" continue to prevail in the 'outback' regions of Arab countries. Uris clearly casts the Jews as the 'good guys' and the neighboring Arab nations as the 'bad guys.' He places the Palestinians somewhere in the middle: a 16th century culture/people caught up in a 20th century conflict, not of their making and beyond their ability to influence.

I enjoyed this book tremendously until the last section where the narrative seems to run out of gas. The ending was strange and tragic to say the least. It does not compare to Exodus which had an incredibly powerful ending. As for the history, I have read the reviews and let's get some things straight. There is no question that Uris is not a fan of the Arab people. But there are some things which are objective truth. The reality of the history of this region is that the Palestinian people were betrayed by their fellow Arabs. It cannot be denied. His portrayals of King Abdullah, the British, the Egyptians and most particularly the Mufti were right on. These were not good people. As a Jew I might consider Abdullah to have been a moderate but he was horrible to the Palestinians he controlled. Uris's portrayal of this type of Arab culture is completely accurate. We have all read the stories of the subjugation of Arab women, of the ignorance and poverty. This is not necessarily indemic to Islam as Uris argues but it is certainly accurate. Most importantly though, although his portrayal of the Jews may be overly sympathetic, particularly Ben-Gurion, it is an inaccurate slander to say the Jews drove the Palestinians out of Israel. There is no question that Ben-Gurion and the Yeshuv shed no tears over Arab flight and also that Arab villages regarded as a threat were destroyed. But this is a natural consequence of a war that the Jews did not start, a fact which Arab sympathizers have ignored for 50 years. Because Uris acknowledges the truth of this he is a rascist? I think not. Uris accurately portrays what happened to many Arab villages. He doesn't dwell on the destruction of many Palestinian villages by the Hagganah although he touches on it in some of the scenes between Gideon Asche and Haj Ibrihim. It is simply unfair to call this a rascist story. He portrays the Haj as a sympathetic and tragic figure despite the many terrible things he does. He portrays him as a man of dignity and insight caught up in circumstances beyond his control. Only one believing the anti-semetic propoganda of the Arab world would fail to recognize the essential truth of the history in this book.

The Haj is typical of an Uris novel: engrossing, well narrated, exhaustively researched, and thickly plotted. The book offers a brilliant, if a bit biased, look at the formation of the Jewish state of Israel in the Palestine from the viewpoint of an intelligent Arab boy. The story is very deep, yet flows smoothly, avoiding the common, and dare I say it, Michenerian tendency to get too caught up with details and research. I found myself amazed at the volume of really good, historically accurate information that I was absorbing from the plot. The Haj, like other Leon Uris novels, is a bit Judeo-centric, but that can't be counted as a fault. In fact, what really draws me to his novels is that when I look at my shelves to choose my next story, I know that if I pick one of his, I'll see an old situation in a wonderful new light. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable read.
